The document discusses value, contrast, and the use of light and dark tones in artworks. It defines value as the continuum from light to dark tones, and explains that harder pencils like H pencils make lighter lines while softer pencils like B pencils make darker lines. It also defines high key as works with mostly light values, low key as works with mostly dark values, low contrast as works with mostly middle values, and high contrast as works with extreme light and dark values and few middle tones. Examples are given of works demonstrating these concepts.

? ¡°H¡± pencils make lighter value lines.
? ¡°H¡± means hard - The higher the number, the harder the
graphite.

11. Drawing Pencils
? ¡°H¡± pencils make lighter value lines.
? ¡°H¡± means hard - The higher the number, the harder the
graphite.
? ¡°B¡± pencils make darker value lines.
? ¡°B¡± means soft - The higher the number, the softer the
