In the process of teaching or introducing pencil shading to students, it is natural to start from
A
Light to dark
B
Dark to light
C
Medium to light and then dark
D
None of these
Correct Option:
A
Explanation
When teaching pencil shading, it is generally safest to progress from light values toward darker values. Graphite can easily be built up by adding pressure or layers, whereas an area made too dark at the beginning is much harder to recover cleanly. This approach also helps students understand gradual tonal control rather than treating shading as simple black-and-white filling.
