This and That—Day THREE

Tonight, in my class of older students, we worked on ... surprise, surprise... our Teddy Bear pictures!

The next step for our drawing is to add shadows and highlights. We filled the bears with white then moved on to add the shadows. Adding shadows and highlights makes our bears look more three dimensional and less flat.

These students each have unique approaches. Check them out!

 
This is a very controlled and smooth blended style. This student is very skilled and quick! Much detail has already been added and has resulted a super clean and cute bear.


This drawing is mine. I have a more of a scribble style that suits this project well as it can help make the bear look fuzzy. I am almost done with shadows and moving on to highlights and details.


Awesome shapes and proportions on this bear! This student’s next step is to finish her shading by adding a bit more black and blending those shadows into the body of the bear.


This is one scary bear! I love how unique it is. This artist is using intense high contrast white and black which is a great match for the intense expression on this bear’s face. His next step is adding the rest of the shadows throughout the bear body and more blending.


Ah, the bear in progress! This student is super talented and has a strong personal style. For the shading, she is using a rougher, scribble style. The next step here is more blending and work to boost that contrast and pop this bear right off that paper!
