Okay welcome back. Now we've done some light shading on this and we've built softly, now
we can start to pick out areas that are. Their not the darkest mid tones but they are mid
tones. So in this area it's the lightest it's going to be. These are a little bit lighter
because I've got a light source coming from over here but then it starts to change in
this area. So I'm just going to come in here and I'm shading in the direction of the bottle
because it's got the wood grains? I'm left handed so sometimes I turn the paper. And
I'm sure most of you people that have drawn know this, but for you that are just learning,
you'll find that certain things don't always work for the same people. So sometimes I've
heard don't turn your paper and other people draw upside down so. And so anyway this area
is, since the light source is coming from my right, it's making the middle of the bottle
a little bit darker. Because it's starting to get a shadow, and so these are the beginnings
of the mid tones. I can actually do that across the bottle because there's a certain part
of the bottle that actually gets darker. And the same thing, if you notice on the seal
where this glare gets really light it gets really dark over here. But I can pick that
up by doing a mid tone to the left of where the glare is. Just come in here and do a mid
tone. And there's a highlight on there. Come in right here. And these are some of the mid
tones in this still life drawing.
