Time Capsules

The images i portrayed were my hand, my lips, and a pencil. the hand i drew is in a position that i always struggled with when i first started drawing. the pencil is something that i depend on regularly: i cant think of a day i haven't used a pencil. i did my lips because i sometimes struggle with eyes, but i draw eyes more than i draw lips. i always thought i have nice lips.

The work is made with graphite pencil sketches. i started out with a HB pencil, then traced over the sketches with a softer mechanical pencil.

i usually just use one type of graphite when i draw, but switching the hardness made it easier. i did a lot of drawing from life. my project wasn't originally lined with the softer pencil, i added it to make it look neater. my next steps would be to make them look more interesting and add color and background.
