Pencil Shading

Pencil Shading

Pencil Shading is the process of adding value to create the illusion of form, space, and most importantly – light in a drawing. When executed correctly, shading can make a drawing appear three- dimensional and create a convincing image. When rendering a drawing that communicates volume, shading is absolutely essential.

Thus, this technique brings and adds life to a two-dimensional and flat drawing, giving it a realistic and natural appeal. It is of great importance when it comes to the addition of subtle details to impart life to the drawings.

It develops observation, visual analysis, focus, fine motor skills, self-confidence, stronger problem solving skills in children, over a period of time.
