Shading…does it have any value?

Well, of course! ;D Referring, of course, to value as that all important element of art 🙂 After explaining light sources and their effects on objects’ values all day I am half loopy.

Does anyone know of a particularly effective source for teaching shading with a light source? Let me know! We are being pretty complex-using five types of shading, and Greek capitals (results coming up in a couple of blogs).

Here, meanwhile, are a few well-rendered examples from my Drawing class we did to get warmed up.
