My Value Chart

imaging-seesaw

This is my value chart. In this photo, it isn’t done yet. I have already done hatching, and I have just started cross hatching. Hatching is used to create shading or tonal effects by using tightly together parallel lines. Cross hatching is the same as hatching, but instead of parallel lines that only go in one direction, they go in multiple different directions. Next, I did stippling, which is using ink. It is the same as hatching and cross hatching, but you make dots instead of lines. After that I did random marks. Again, it is the same as the previous techniques, but you make random marks of your choice instead of lines or dots. In my case, I made H’s for Harvey. You can’t really tell, but at the top, it says 2H, HB, B, 2B, 4B, 6B. The higher the number if it is followed by B, means that the graphite is thicker, but if the number is followed by H, the higher it is, the thinner the graphite is.
