Light plays an essential role in life. Life without light is impossible, one of the significant functions of light is to provide us with vision. Light grants us with colors also.
What if we exclude colors from life. It will be like a black and white chaos. It will be hard to differentiate between many things. While in 3D things it will be distinguished with the help of light and its concentration at a point. It will be the play of highlights and shadows. Some parts those will have light will be highlighted and some which will be deficient in light will be dark. So this is what we have to do, we have to sketch something with help of charcoal considering the points of highlight and shadows. It is difficult to use the shadows and highlights to sketch a thing. It’s difficult to judge the intermediate parts those are neither well lit nor dark. The curvature is also an issue for beginners like me who don’t know sketching and charcoal medium. That gives us a proper understanding of highlights and shadows and really helpful when you are not using colors or working with a single colored medium. Some complex spaces and curvatures could issue but its fun to do. We also learned about body proportions. Another thing we learned is how to show volume using highlights and shadows. These are some of my work which I practiced
