Project 4-Chalk Values
Hello,
Charles here again to go through my next project. Chalk Values. In this project we create images using light & shadows versus contouring lines to create shape.
This is the process.
You’ll need Black Mitentes Paper, Chalk, a kneaded eraser, and multiple images you intend to draw.
My thumbnails are as follows:
Egg under a Spotlight
Sphere
Man on Top of the stairs
Sphere 2
Massive Tornado
Mastering your gray values are extremely important for showing depth in this project.
You want to keep your shadows completely dark. Try keeping black spaces free of chalk as any value can change the perception of your image.
Gradients need to be gradual and take place over a significant distance to work well.
Below you’ll see my five thumbnails.
In this study you can see how my gradient is too short.
In sphere 2 the gradient is better. the gradient impacts your shapes and light.
Here is our final project. We chose the tornado from our study to complete this particular challenge due to degree of difficulty.
Here, I'm trying to fill in my flat sky. I made multiple attempts to unify the atmospheric conditions of a tornado, which helped develop the clouds. It worked really well in my studies but not so much in my final.
