Part 1
Choose an interesting object and make a full value drawing of it in pencil. Value basically means light and shadow. Place the interesting object that you chose next to a strong light source (a lamp), so there are strong lights and strong darks. Shade the object and the background so that you can tell the direction that the light is coming from. The lightest areas should be the white of your paper, and the darkest areas should be as dark as you can get with your pencil, with a nice range of grays as well.
Part 2
Make a self portrait in full value. This means you should set up a strong light source near your mirror (or move the mirror to a light source) and draw yourself as the lights and shadows fall across you. Make sure the background is also shaded in!
