Week 1
Lesson 1
Lighting and circle shading 
In this weeks lessons we will learn a little bit about lighting, focusing on reflective lighting, and we will learn a technique called circle shading. 
 Week 2
Lesson 2
Hatching and crosshatching 
This week we will focus again on accurate lighting and also introduce the technique called hatching and cross hatching. 
 Week 3
Lesson 3
Scribble shading 
Scribble shading is a technique that uses scribbled lines to create value. 
 Week 4
Lesson 4
Pointillism/stippling 
Pointillism is a technique that uses dots to create value. For this technique, you will want to felt tipped pen, Ideally black. Smaller tiped pens will likely result in better looking artwork.
 Week 5
Lesson 5
Pattern shading 
Pattern shading uses repeated pattern to create texture and value. Patterns are usually shapes, colours, or lines repeated over and over again in the same way. 
 Week 6
Lesson 6
Contour shading 
Contour, shading uses lines (like hatching and crosshatching) create values The distinction for contour shading is that the  lines follow the form of the object. You’ll want to imagine your object as a three-dimensional shape. For this reason, it’s best to use a still life to draw from when you are first learning. 
 Week 7
Lesson 7
Graphite smudge shading 
Smudge shading is a quick shading method that’s good to use for gestural artwork. I prefer circle shading for realism, but smudge shading definitely has its placed. 
 Week 8
Lesson 8
Final project. Graphic landscape.
This week we will work on our final project. Your final project should combine at least 3 of the different shading techniques covered in the previous 7 weeks to create an image. My example drawing will be a graphic landscape.
