2. LOOK AGAIN

Is this paper actually all white?

No. Even white paper has many different VALUES when light hits it.

Some areas catch light. Other areas turn gray or dark because the folds block the light.

VALUE = the lightness or darkness of a color or tone.

Today, value will help us make the paper look three-dimensional.

What should I look for before I start shading?

STEP 1 — FIND THE LIGHTLook for the brightest areas first.

STEP 2 — FIND THE MID-TONESLook for the gray areas between light and dark.

STEP 3 — FIND THE DARKEST SHADOWSLook inside deep folds and where light is blocked.

STEP 4 — BUILD SLOWLYStart light and gradually build your darkest values.
