2014-07-17 【Aiden in English】 Shading is one of the most frustrating techniques of sketch drawing. It captures the light, so every stroke counts. The darkness of each line is crucial to illustrate your own idea. And if the shading is done correctly, the outcome will look spectacular. Today, I learned that shading isn't as frustrating as I expected @ the Summer Camp of Guanghua Chinese School. When shading large areas, I could simply take a tissue and rub the pencil marks to create the shade. In fact, the shading of my picture took a lot less time than I thought. Unfortunately, I was drawing a deer. A deer had a pair of small antlers, which were tough to shade. I had to carefully rub my finger to spread the pencil shading. It looked ridiculous but worked well. In addition, if it is shaded too darkly, it feels too difficult to erase. That made shading even harder because it's a confined space.
As hard as shading is, the outcome is worth it. It seems to bring life to the picture. In fact, by shading, life is given to the picture.

濃淡處理或許是素描藝術中最難把握的技巧之一，隨着光影流動，其形體結構也發生相應變化，線條的明暗特徵突出表現了創作意境，一旦濃淡程度拿捏得當，必將提升作品的感染力。
今天在賓州光華中文學校夏令營里，筆者通過親身經歷欣慰地體驗到，濃淡處理並非像從前想像的那麼可怕。當鋪大調子塗抹深色暗影時，我藉助紙巾揉擦鉛筆留下的痕跡，確實毋需花費太多功夫。只不過這次刻畫的對象是一隻鹿，而鹿腦袋上又長有一對小羚角，對濃淡處理要求很高，我得仔細用手指頭擦拭色調，雖說看上去有點滑稽，但效果很好。除此之外，下筆時不能過重，否則事後難做調整﹔如果要在限定的區域內打底作畫，那麼濃淡處理的難度變得更大。 濃淡處理的確不容易掌握，但還是值得為之付出努力的。它讓筆下生輝，使整個畫面充滿活力。
