Hi friends! Dani here and today I’m sharing with you an easy value scale I created for the new Tombow MONO Drawing Pencil Set! A value scale is just a fancy name for a guide that shows the shades of lightness and darkness you can achieve with a particular medium (today = pencils). I’m showing you mine so you can see how helpful a value scale is when drawing.
A value scale is a great tool to have on hand when drawing. It allows you to become familiar with your medium, but also shows you the wide range of tones and shading you can achieve. The MONO Drawing Pencils have a wide range of color ability from the darkest darks of the 6B pencil to the lightest shades of the 4H.
I thought it would be fun to draw the pencils themselves as the base for my value scale. Pencils are very simple objects and can be drawn quickly and easily with the help of a ruler. Drawing the same object also lets you compare the shading, texture, etc more easily. Apples to apples, you know?
Another benefit to using pencils as my images is that these MONO Drawing Pencils have 3 sides showing when they are lying flat. I created dark, middle, and light toned areas of my drawings using these 3 areas. You could also draw your scale with circles or rectangles to really play with shading and gradation. However, I found that the dark, middle, and light tones were enough for me.
This is brilliant!
First of all I would like to say wonderful blog!
I had a quick question that I’d like to ask if you do not mind.
I was interested to know how you center yourself and clear your head prior to writing.
I’ve had a tough time clearing my thoughts in getting my ideas out.
I do enjoy writing but it just seems like the
first 10 to 15 minutes are usually wasted just trying to figure out
how to begin. Any recommendations or hints? Many thanks!
Thanks on your marvelous posting! I definitely enjoyed reading
it, you are a great author. I will be sure to bookmark
your blog and definitely will come back someday.
I want to encourage yourself to continue your great
writing, have a nice evening!
Great information. Lucky me I recently found your website by accident (stumbleupon).
I’ve book marked it for later!
Right here is the right site for anyone who wants to understand this topic.
You know a whole lot its almost tough to argue with you (not
that I personally would want to…HaHa). You
certainly put a brand new spin on a subject that’s been discussed for decades.
Great stuff, just excellent!
This article is great. I like it very much. Thank you.
