Gradient Techniques- 6 form study 
Gradient Techniques- 3 form study
This is an assignment to teach the student the power of shading values. Shadows make parts of the artwork appear to go back. Highlights bring other parts toward us. A gradient is a subtle change from shadows to highlights. Gradients done right give the appearance of 3D forms, not just shapes.
