Time Capsules

These are my time capsule drawings. For this project I had to create four drawings: a drawing of a hallway, a cropped self portrait, a drawing of hand hand in a pose, and an object that I depend on regularly. For the hallway I could choose any hallway to drew and I chose one in my house. In the cropped self portrait I cropped just drew the middle part of my face, cropping out my hair, ears and most of my forehead. For my hand I put it in an interesting position and drew it and for the object I depend on regularly I chose my hockey stick, which I use a lot.

I started with the hallway drawing. First, I took a picture of a hallway in my house with my phone. Then I took a piece of paper and a pencil and started to draw it. I drew the doors first and then I shaded a little bit where it was the darkest in the photo. After that I added some close-up detail to the door on the right of the picture. The next drawing I did was the self-portrait. For this drawing I used a mirror, a piece of paper and a pencil. First, I used a ruler and my pencil to crop the page down a little in size. It was difficult getting started on the drawing but once I got started it got easier. The eyes, eyebrows and mouth weren't that difficult but the nose and freckles were. I made the freckles by shading in the areas where the most freckles are. The next drawing I did was the hand drawing. in this drawing I tried to draw as much detail of my hand as I could. I started from the bottom of my hand and worked my way up, trying to keep everything in the right proportions. My final drawing was my hockey stick. First, I outlined the hockey stick. Next, I drew in the diamond pattern on the blade of the stick. Following this I shaded in the rest of the stick and wrote in the words.

I chose the hallway in my house because it's the hallway I walk through many times a day and it just reminds me of home which I like about the picture. If I could change something about it I would probably use a ruler for more of the piece and maybe shade more to make it look cleaner but with more detail. In the self-portrait I would have made my nose a lot shorter because it is not as long as portrayed in the drawing. I chose the pose in the third drawing because I think it offers a lot of detail in the hand to be drawn. Finally, I chose my hockey stick for the last drawing because in the winter it is something I use daily and I depend on it during the other seasons too whenever I play hockey.
