how can we make value scale on white paper without using charcoal pencil?
Hi Sapna,
Simply adjust the amount of pressure that you place on the pencil to create lighter values, allowing the white of the paper to affect the value. You can also use harder and lighter graphite pencils to create lighter values. You can see how this is accomplished in the module from “Pencil Drawing – The Guide to Graphite”…https://thevirtualinstructor.com/members/the-guide-to-graphite-graphite-grades-and-sharpening/
great help n info.thnx a lot.
Interesting to use white charcoal pencil to provide different tints – my current mentor is an accomplished graphite artist who abhors using anything other than graphite and the paper for tonal variation.
Hi Marise,
That’s unfortunate. In my opinion, it’s little narrow-minded to “abhor” any form of art other than the form that you prefer to create.
