linear perspective: perspectiva linear
a type of perspective used by artists in which the relative size, shape, and position of objects are determined by drawn or imagined lines converging at a point on the horizon.
In linear perspective parallel lines that recede into the distance appear to get closer together or converge.

value: Valor
the relative degree of lightness or darkness of a particular color.
Value Scale: escala de valoresThe value scale is a system of organizing values. It traditionally consists of nine values ranging from white to black, with several shades of gray in between. These shades of gray make up the “meat” of a drawing, and help to create the illusion of depth and three-dimensionality.

gradation: gradaciónGradation in art is a visual technique of gradually transitioning from one color hue to another, or from one shade to another, or one texture to another. Space, distance, atmosphere, volume, and curved or rounded forms are some of the visual effects created with gradation.

Blended Shading: sombreado de mezclado
Use a cotton swab to blend in the graphite for a smooth blended look. For finger-blending use the side of your pencil and pencil-stroke some shading. Now rub and smudge it with your finger. Blended Shading is a popular shading method among pencil artists
hatching: eclosión
Hatching is an artistic technique used to create tonal or shading effects by drawing (or painting or scribing) closely spaced parallel lines.
cross-hatching: cruzar eclosión
Crosshatching is an extension of hatching, which uses is the use of fine parallel lines drawn closely together, to create the illusion of shade or texture in a drawing. Crosshatching is the drawing of two layers of hatching at right-angles to create a mesh-like pattern.
stippling (pointillism): punteado
Stippling is the creation of a pattern simulating varying degrees of solidity or shading by using small dots. Such a pattern may occur in nature and these effects are frequently emulated by artists.
