Self-portrait

Graphite pencil

9"x12"

For class, I had to draw a self-portrait in around 20 minutes and make it as realistic as possible.

For this drawing I used a mirror to see myself as I drew, and a pencil and paper.

I started by just drawing the outline of my face, then basic facial features, and then adding shading, but only a small amount because of the time crunch. At first, this task seemed difficult, but party though, I realized I didn't have to draw half the face, which was nice.

Flower in a corner

Graphite pencil

9"x12"

I was told to find a corner of a room and draw it, so that's what I did. But the corner was pretty boring so, I added a flower to spice it up.

For this drawing, I just used a graphite pencil and paper, with a corner of my room as my subject.

I started by finding a good simple corner to go off of, and once I found it, I draw some lines then added my flower.

Pencil

I was assigned to draw any object in the room, and a pencil seemed pretty simple and close by so I started drawing.

To make this drawing, all I needed was 2 graphite pencils, (one to draw with and one to draw), and a sheet of paper.

I just laid out the pencil on a piece of white paper and started drawing what I saw, adding details as I went.
