TheTreasure hunt

Many say say Life is a journey ..
But I think Its a journey within oneself .
God has carefully deposited a treasure in each one of us
and what we all do through out our  life is searching  for it
some takes a long time digging up the dirt and give up
Some finds it quickly with determination and courage...
They will never be disappointed as they got what they have to find
which makes  them contended
Remember we get what we deserve even in Heaven !

Light and Shade

The effective understanding of light and shade and capturing it is important in photography too.

the beauty of this picture lies solely on the light and shade. Photography is nothing

but drawing with light.

Drawing Value - Shading Tonal Values with Graphite Pencil

Don't use outlines.


The aim of realist value drawing is to show the light and shadow and surface tones, creating a three-dimensional illusion. Outlines only define visible edges and don't tell us anything about light and dark. Linear drawing and value drawing are two different 'systems' of representation. Mixing up the two can be confusing, if realistic drawing is your aim.



Change your approach.

When creating a value drawing, you need to shift out of line-drawing mode, and the best way to do this is to forbid yourself to draw a line, and focus on areas of value. You might use the lightest of lines to get down the basic shapes. From there, build up the shading. Often the 'outline' will be at the join between two different values, and is created by the contrast between the light and dark area.
Use the background to define foreground objects.Pay attention to drawing the shadows and background. Use them to provide contrast. A 'halo' of shading, like a vignette around the subject, is rarely successful. Leaving the background blank can work, but remember its okay to let an edge fade into the background - don't outline.
