VARIETIES OF PENCIL VALUES SKETCHBOOK ASSIGNMENT #1: CREATE A
VALUE SCALE CHART ILLUSTRATING THE PENCIL GRADES OF THE SIX
VARIETIES OF DRAWING PENCILS AVAILABLE IN THIS CLASS. YOU ARE TO
LABEL THEM IN THE CORRECT ORDER (HARD TO SOFT) AND SHOW THE VALUE
OF EACH PENCIL GRADE FROM DARK TO LIGHT PRESSURE. CRAFTSMANSHIP AND
ACCURACY WILL BE PART OF YOUR GRADE FOR THIS ASSIGNMENT. IF YOU
HAVE YOUR OWN SET OF DRAWING PENCILS, YOU MAY WISH TO ILLUSTRATE
THOSE PENCIL GRADES AS WELL.
Slide 7
Questions-Pencil Grades & Values Answer on the same page as
your value studies. 1. What did you observe about the hardness
& softness of the pencil grades? 2. Which pencil grades would
you use to draw details? Explain your answer. 3. Which pencil
grades would you use to add contrast in your values? Explain your
answer.

2.HATCHING/CROSS HATCHING 3.SCRIBBLES TRY CREATING A VARIETY OF
VALUES AND EXPERIMENT! 4. DRAW A SIMPLE GEOMETRIC FORM AND ADD
VALUES USING THE VARIOUS TECHNIQUES.
Slide 11
DRY MEDIA VARIETIES CHALK Ancient drawing material similar to
charcoal used in cave drawings Natural Carbons Blacks Iron Oxides
Red tones Umbers Variety of browns Ochres Earthy Yellows Chalk
White Often used with tinted paper, in order to give the drawing an

content and color intensity
Slide 12
DRY MEDIA VARIETIES CHALK Pastels Softest & driest of chalk
Pastels are used in a similar manner as painting Chalks Harder
& lighter Chalks are used more in linear fashions, like
charcoal Must be sprayed with fixative Experimentation apply chalk
to damp paper to create a similar effect as painting but it must be
sprayed with fixative after OR dip chalk in liquid starch, which
doesnt have to be sprayed
