#021 Aggregate Shape - The Shape That Goes Around Everything

Hi!

Today we will look at the darkness that a few different kinds of pencils make, including a good quality #2 writing pencil. 

We will look at the first part of the drawing process! You'll find out why you may not want to finish a small part of the drawing and then work out from there as a type of drawing process. Instead we use a special shape that contains all the small parts and will ensure that the objects will fit well within the space of the page. 

Enjoy Drawing!

HERE'S WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER

1. Soft pencils make a darker mark and are used near the end of the drawing to create contrast with the white of the paper.

2. Hard pencils make a lighter mark and are used and the beginning of a drawing so that those first lines can be erased easily.

3. How to use an aggregate shape to ensure that the objects within the still-life fit into the space of the page.
