- Understanding light and shadow concepts, including light source direction, highlights, mid-tones, reflected light, and cast shadows.
- Introduction to tonal values and basic shading methods to create depth and three-dimensional effects.
- Learning hatching techniques using parallel lines to develop light and medium tones.
- Cross-hatching techniques to build darker tones and add contrast through layered lines.
