2nd Grade Robots with shading
These robots are a step up from the 1st grade Robot Drawings.
Materials: Rulers, pencils and erasers
* I use My Pal pencils, yes the big blue pencils from kindergarten, the are really great for shading
I have them start by drawing an oval at the top of the page for the robots head.
We use the rulers to make a rectangle in the center of the page for the body, focusing on making horizontal & vertical lines with the rulers. We add in the extra line on one side and the top to create a 3 dimensional effect. We shade it in with the pencil. Add the neck, legs and arms with the ruler and shade them in, keep a light line going down the center. It creates the effect of shiny metal.
I then let them create the details of the hands, feet, and face.
