Time Capsule Drawings

For this assignment I had three prompts that I had to take and create drawings for. The first prompt was to draw an object that represented my past. I chose to draw a skull because I collected skulls (and still do). I also don't have a good relationship with my past so I figured the skull would be fitting. The next prompt was to draw an object that I felt represented my future. I chose to draw a dried rose for this because the future is uncertain and delicate and no one knows for certain how long it will last. The last prompt was to draw a zoomed in part of my body so I chose my eye because it was the only thing I thought of when I saw that prompt. I also like my eyes.

I only used pencil for these drawings. They were quick sketches that I did in my sketchbook and I didn't feel the need to use anything more than a pencil.

There honestly wasn't much of a process behind these drawings. The prompts were pretty easy and there was no research involved because these were observational drawings. I only took about fifteen minutes on each of them because they were supposed to be short and simple. That is why the shading is very rough but it looks like a sketch so it is fine. I'm not a huge fan of sketching but this was good practice because I need to get into the habit of that more. I may not have necessarily enjoyed this project but at least I got to practice my sketching skills.
