Beginning Drawing3

the process of adding tone to selected areas of a drawing. very often the intention of shading is to indicate the presence of a shadow, but this is not always the case

a 2d figure created by connecting actual or implied lines that enclose an area of space. a shape can be geometric or organic

a rapid drawing or painting. this may be complete in itself or used for a more detailed project

the use of elements indicating depth achieved by perspective techniques

in a 2d work that creates an illusion of 3d the area that seems closed to the observer

in a 2d work that creates the illusion of 3d the area that appears to lie in a middle distance between the foreground and the background

in a 2d work that creates an illusion of 3d, the area that appears farthest from the observer

the point of a drawing at which the artist stands in relation to the subject or, in the case of a drawing from invention or imagination, the position of the droughts man implied by the character of the depiction

very short hatching strokes in pen or pencil resembling tiny dots, useful in creating smooth value changes and texture effects

the surface upon which a drawing is executed, whether it be paper, cloth, wood, stone, or any other material

in relation to drawing, may be defined as surface quality independent of form and color. texture is normally created by a consistent pattern of tonal variation and it may be produced either by the marking medium or by the nature of the support, or by a combo

together with line, tone may be regarded as one of the two elements that characterize the art of drawing. the tone of an area is determined by the amount of light reflected, and is synonymous with value

degree of lightness or darkness in a color and the relation of light and shade in a drawing, synonymous with tone

the point on the horizon line where parallel lines appear to converge or meet

creating volume illusion through hatching or shading areas within a contour
