What is the difference?

Why?

With the help of light and shadow you make a flat surface spatial. --> It looks like it is in 3d!

Reflections, glowing lights and transparency can add extra accents to this spaciousness.

Let's practice!

Exercise 1: 

- Pick a basic shape (cube, ball, cylinder, etc)

- Use pencil and an eraser.

- Pay attention to the shape and size of the object.

- Find your light source and your shadows. Draw them. Pay attention to where the light hits the object and the values of the shadows.

Charcoal

How do we use it?

Composition

Still Life 

Exercise 2:

• Now make a composition with a few basic shapes, it can be any way you want them to be. (stack them, overlap etc)
• Use charcoal
• Draw in the shapes. Look at where the shapes meet and how they are positioned in relation to eachother.
• Draw your and lights and shadows. Where is your light source? 
• JUST DO IT! (it's an exercise, you can make mistakes)
