Graduating Squirkles

In this lesson you explore squirkle shading in drawings and then render graduated values with squirkles. By varying the density (drawing the lines either far apart or close together) of the lines, you can achieve many different values. Light values tend to have noticeable curved lines with lots of white space showing. In darker values, the lines are drawn more closely together, filling in most of the paper with squirkles.

A good exercise to sharpen the eye in judging value and promote boservation.

Got my pencils today; yay! Wow what a range. I need to practice the transitions between pencils, so its more smooth from one to the next. I had more difficulty over long transitions than from closer ones.
