Tone and Form

Exercise: Observing shadow and light formations on a surface

Shadow & Light 1


Shadow & Light 2



Tonal Studies

I found these exercises quite enjoyable, however, I think I may have placed the lamp too close to the subject matter as the shadows are too strong. I think I have achieved expressing the tonal graduations fairly well in Shadow & Light 1, but not in Shadow Light 2. I wish I had tried the same exercise with natural daylight to see what difference it would make. I really don't like the dark shadows on these drawings!
