Tonal Eye Practice Sheet with Trace Support

Help your students master tone and shading with this differentiated Tonal Eye Practice Sheet! Designed to support students who may not feel confident with proportion yet, this resource shifts the focus to tonal exploration and shading techniques.

What’s Included:

ONE PDF WORKSHEET

• Three black-and-white eye references: A mix of photographs and drawings on the right-hand side of the sheet, offering varied examples of tonal range and detail.
• Trace support on the left: Perfect for students who need guidance with structure, allowing them to trace the outline and focus exclusively on shading and tone.
  This resource is ideal for developing observational skills, introducing tonal values, and building shading confidence without the pressure of freehand drawing.

How to Use:

Print the sheet for individual practice or class exercises. Encourage students to experiment with pencils or other tonal media (e.g., charcoal, graphite).
Perfect for differentiated instruction—students can choose the level of challenge they feel comfortable with. This is a great resource to build shading skills while giving less confident drawers the tools they need to succeed.
