anyone today we're going to go ahead and show you how to render an image I already have my image transferred onto my wife paper but before we do I wanted to go over the most important part that we're trying to accomplish here and that is to understand how  value takes place that's what you really need to understand it's the difference between lightness and darkness of an object and so on any night you have to understand that some objects are going to be very lights and that other parts are going to be much darker until you do that by changing the value you can also do that by changing pencils so for example this green pencil did blue green pencil is an HB which is all like pencil compared to this green pencil which is a to be so if I were to put full value love this pencil you see that it's a pretty medium value pencil and that's full pressure compared to this one is to be and it's really hard to see it on the camera play there is a difference between the two if you see with your regular eyes alright I understand what the tools are already talked about the pencils the next thing we're going to talk about his eraser this eraser here is a kneaded eraser some of you have seen this before it's is out and it erases but really what it does it lifts and makes things lighter so we can use that to make things lighter for you've gone too far in the next tool is this to a witch's a stomp its look like a pencil but it's actually all paper and you don't sharpen these you do get a piece of sandpaper and send off some of the graphite that's going to be collected on the edges so this is what you're going to use to blend so before you can blend with is you need to be able to apply your tones to the area's first in the correct location sold for this type of rendering you always want to use the edge of your pencil to apply yoga so I'm going to have the light come from the top left corner so that means at all the lights and be coming from this direction where I'm pointing my pencil and as a hits object the object is round everything that's on the left side is going to be lighter and everything on the right side opposite of the light is going to be darker it makes sense but now it's applying it to your image over off so I'm going to use my pencil handle account sketching holding it from a distance so they can use only the edge and I'mma start applying some graphite using the edge and what that does is that it gives me nice even coverage not a whole lot of pressure  and as I get closer to the light source iced stop lying less and less and less pressure and less graphite you do want to leave some white areas towards where the light area is that way when you apply the tool to blend it it automatically makes it lighter and softer do the same thing on the next one over here and so again you should not be able to see various pencil marks  they're going to disappear once we are blending tool to our surface if you use tip of your pencil you're going to end up making very hard lines on your paper and that's not going to be very helpful now in this character he has an arm that's made out of metal which means is going to be a great tone so I made it overall pretty dark it is a little bit lighter on the side but not that much what I want to be able to do now is take my darker pencil and apply it to the really dark areas the reason I'm doing where to blend with the stomp things do get a little bit lighter because they're filling in all the little tiny gaps in the paper which we to fill in but by doing so it makes it a little lighter lifts off some of the graphite and makes it lighter soda avoid a problem we changed to a darker pencil and already you can see that it is much darker along the bottom in lighter on that site in comparison that's that contrast now we're going to need to also be able to understand for this project we're trying to make colors become black and white which is why we did that hand out with the various colors and why that posters in the room that show you what red looks like what green looks like what yellow looks like alright I think we're good there when we just a little bit darker and decipher that's the farthest part away from the light source and I'm going to go ahead and start to use it now you can use the tip and the edge Jessica use a regular pencil and you can from the dark part into the light part and you can see already it does make things look a lot smoother and just like with a pencil when you want to make it smoother you have fly heavier sure we wanted to be lighter you just put less pressure and you got to push the graphite into each other if you apply too much pressure or you went too far outside send that when you take your kneaded eraser  so you might have to go back and make it smoother but using the eraser but knowing where to put the graphite first is in a make this process a lot easier which is why I wanted you guys to practice putting the tones which is value  in the correct places to be what's now I still feel like the darker parts of should be visible  how long the bottoms I'm going to go back with my 2B pencil and make it darker president heavier because this part of the drawing can a metal arm and it's a really dark gray metal and again to fit it into the grey by applying medium pressure lot of you have trouble showing the dark next to the next value relieve a separation you try to make that blend Disappear by applying medium pressure Which is less than the dark value but lighter than the next value and that's the medium Valley between the two tones  you can always go back with the Stomp and blend it in more but that always helps now some of the things that we need to also understand is how shapes are going to be lit with light  which I'm going about cylinders everything is basically a cylinder or a sphere the cylinder of course is like something in the shape of a soda can  which is like what an arm is now this muscle where this mechanical arm is see it around like a sphere but really it could also be seen as a cylinder it's pretty much the same shape alright so I'm done with that part now I'm going to continue working on but at the very end you'll take your sharpest pencil which is is it going to be your HB pencil and they're going to go in and out line just the light Parts the dark Parts usually do not need one because it's already been done so now what I'm going to do here I'm going to work on his beard okay so you can get an idea as to how the light parts are going enough one of the other tricks about graphite is that this stomp already has some graphite on it so I can actually go in  can you what I have on my stump to color other things  now his beard is yellow  which means that overall it's going to be much much much much lighter then other objects so here there's no graphite needed because it's already there so use your stump to apply some of the lighter parts that's very very know what I'm doing here is that I'm just a plain graphite towards the right side and as I get closer to the light source I'm going to Blended in a smooth as I can you can see that it's much darker on this side because that's where the light is hitting the least there would be a little bit of Shadow under the mustache turn his beard because of a cast Shadow that's because something is on top of something else and the light creates a shadow  take a rear to put your arm on top of your other arm you would see a shadow underneath it as well  same thing with the mustache  much darker on side  and it's not bad if you leave some parts White now the beard is little bit hard to see because it's so next to a white light tongue but this is also part of his metal so the arm is connected to part of his play and that would also be very very dark so I'm just going to play some of that shadow here underneath the beard and you're going to see right away that by doing this it makes the beard really stand out so we're going to start to apply a little bit of graphite to the overall metal  but in contrast it is going to be a lot darker then his beard which is yellow so you really have to do one piece out of time  don't worry about the other parts you can always things darker  but what you can't always do is make things lighter because once the graphite hits the paper it does get embedded into it and it's never going to be absolutely right anymore so you have to be able to know what's what in terms of value is it a light value a dark value medium value all those different things that we need to be aware of so I have the medium value on there already so now I'm going to go in on the bottom  start making the dark or white all against the bottom because the lights coming from this corner and as it hits the top is going to be lighter but as it moves down because it is a muscle it's going to be darker I've been going there it's good so I'm going to take my stuff and I'm going to go ahead start to smear the graphite  so that all the little white specks of paper disappear you can see that now the beard really does stand out doesn't just disappear here is do I need to apply darker graphite so that it matches the arm and the answer is yes where do we place it  your answers read along the bottom  just like we did with the arm so we're going to put some here  remember the bigger the the bigger its shadow the same thing is true with the light the bigger the light the more light reflects if you have a small object  in the light is hitting it is not going to have a huge Shadow warm Shadow is the shadow that creates that object every object so Farm Shadow it's the darkest part of that object sometimes we want an edge sometimes you don't I think we're here this part by itself stands out thanks we get carried away with the outlining which is 9s
