Introductory Message

For the facilitator:

Welcome to the Technical Drawing 2 Self-Learning Module 17 on Techniques of

Shading in Freehand Sketches!

This module was collaboratively designed, developed and reviewed by educators from
Schools Division Office of Pasig City headed by its Officer-In-Charge Schools Division
Superintendent, Ma. Evalou Concepcion A. Agustin in partnership with the Local
Government of Pasig through its Mayor, Honorable Vico Sotto.
The writers utilized the standards set by the K to 12 Curriculum using the Most
Essential Learning Competencies (MELC) while overcoming their personal, social,
and economic constraints in schooling.

This learning material hopes to engage the learners into guided and independent
learning activities at their own pace and time. Further, this also aims to help learners
acquire the needed 21st century skills especially the 5 Cs namely: Communication,
Collaboration, Creativity, Critical Thinking and Character while taking into
consideration their needs and circumstances.

In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in the body of
the module:

Notes to the Teacher

This contains helpful tips or strategies that
will help you in guiding the learners.

As a facilitator you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this module.
You also need to keep track of the learners' progress while allowing them to manage
their own learning. Moreover, you are expected to encourage and assist the learners
as they do the tasks included in the module.
For the learner:

Welcome to the Technical Drawing 2 Self-Learning Module 17 on Techniques

of Shading in Freehand Sketches!
The hand is one of the most symbolized part of the human body. It is often used to
depict skill, action and purpose. Through our hands we may learn, create and
accomplish. Hence, the hand in this learning resource signifies that you as a learner
is capable and empowered to successfully achieve the relevant competencies and
skills at your own pace and time. Your academic success lies in your own hands!

This module was designed to provide you with fun and meaningful opportunities for
guided and independent learning at your own pace and time. You will be enabled to
process the contents of the learning material while being an active learner.

This module has the following parts and corresponding icons:

Expectation - These are what you will be able to know after

completing the lessons in the module

Pre-test - This will measure your prior knowledge and the

concepts to be mastered throughout the lesson.

Recap - This section will measure what learnings and skills

that you understand from the previous lesson.

Lesson- This section will discuss the topic for this module.

Activities - This is a set of activities you will perform.

Wrap Up- This section summarizes the concepts and

applications of the lessons.

Valuing-this part will check the integration of values in the

learning competency.

Post-test - This will measure how much you have learned from
the entire module.
 EXPECTATIONS

At the end of the lesson, the learners should be able to:

1. enumerate the techniques of shading application;
2. identify the methods of shading application; and
3. show desire to learn shading in freehand sketches.

LESSON
Importance of shading in freehand sketches
Shading is the process of making the visible surfaces of an object. It is
applied in a variety of tones or values.
The following are the tones or values of shading:
1. Light values. This represents the surface which receives the greatest
amount of light.
2. Medium values. This represents the surface which receives less amount
of light.
3. Dark values. This represents the surface very little amount of light.
In shading application, the source of light is assumed to be coming from the
upper left-hand corner of the drawing paper and rays of light are imagined to
be inclining at an angle of 45 degrees.

Techniques of shading application

1. Apply the largest shading on the part of a surface which receives more
light.
2. Shade the portion of a surface which receives less light with medium
values.
3. Shade the portion of a surface which receives little amount of light with a
heavy shade
Methods of shading application
1. Line shading. A technique of showing the various shades of an object by
using lines.

2. Stippling shading or pointillism. It is applied by dabbing the pencil

point or pen to produce dots on the surface of the object.

3. Mixed shading. It is called mixed because it applies both the line and
dotted shading. However, the lines and dotted shading must not be
applied on the same surface of the object.
 4. Continuous tone shading or Smudge shading. This is applied by using
the powdered graphite or lead of a pencil.

ACTIVITIES
True or False.
Direction. Write T if the statement is correct, write F if the statement is incorrect.
Write your answer on the blank before the number.
_____1. In shading application, the source of light is assumed to be coming from the
rear.
_____2. Shading is the process of making the visible surfaces of the object.
_____3. Also in shading, the rays of the light are imagined to be inclined at an angle
of 75 degrees.
_____4. Apply lightest shading on the part of a surface which receives little amount
of light.
_____5. Pointillism shading is the other term for continuous shading.
_____6. Mixed shading is the combination of stippling shading and line shading.
_____7. Smudge shading is also known as stippling.
_____8. Smudge shading is the application of powdered graphite or pencil lead.
_____9. Dark values or tones represent the surface with very little amount of light.
_____10. Line shading is a technique shading by applying points.
