Shade in your grid from left to right.
Each number from 1 – 10 represents the layers of applied pencil used to make
the shades of tone.
Example:
1 = 1 layer of pencil
2 = 2 layers of pencil
3 = 3 layers of pencil
When drawing in tone consider the direction of the light. For instance
Look at the right side of the red apple in the picture. It is a dark tone
or shade of red. The lightest part of the orange apple is
the front as this is the lightest shade of orange.
Colour the tone sheet with graded tones then generate one tonal image.

Create a bird/animal/reptile/mammal or fish
type shape to use as a container of a new story
about yourself. This work needs to tell your
viewer a little bit about yourself.
What are your interests?
What is your culture?
Do you know what designs you could use? You live
in New Zealand- try using some Maori kowhaiwhai
or taniko designs. Perhaps you could use designs
from your own cultural background.
