Artist's tip (Find the light): Highlight = brightest spot; shadow side = away from the light; cast shadow = thrown on the surface, away from the light. Hatching = parallel lines, cross-hatching = crossing lines, stippling = dots, blending = smooth tones. Press harder or add more lines to go darker; a value scale runs from white to black.
