This composition is a photo taken of the items on my nightstand from years ago. I laid out what I needed for the next morning’s run that night; the pill that I take every day, my glasses, and a GU(which is an energy gel for runners). I chose this image because at the simplest level, it’s me. My sport, my eyes, et cetera. I started with the pencil set figuring out perspective of each item. The pill case was done with a ruler...and it’s my favorite part of this sketch. Everything else was freehand. The table is the block of charcoal. I was hesitant to use it because it covered up the elephant print that I traced from the fridge. However, I thought it gave a nice texture as well and captured the darkness of the table.

Some charcoal to make some darker elements. Need to clean up some of the edges. I included a fingerprint on the glasses because they’re always smudged. White pastel for the scratch marks on the leather

I despise how this is objectively, But LOVE how this is coming out as a demonstration of what I’ve learned this semester. I wish I possess the ability to compose everything to a T like I did with the weekly pill case.

Glasses rims are going to be tricky. They need to be symmetrical.

Medium - graphite pencils
Maybe charcoals for the background
Subject matter - still life 

Subject - some of the most important elements in my life as a person and an athlete.

I’d do this on white paper, the white v. Charcoal contrast would be great

Needs a bit more, but I’m happy with it for now.

1. Where the lead pencil is
being held when sketching...primarily from the rear.
2. Additive sketching; little erasing and the addition of the white pencil negates the grey pencil.
3. The direction of the pencil goes with the wood grain and texture of the windowsill.
4. The more coarse brown paper is making the edges, lines, and corners of the sketch more dull. The addition of the white pencil and darker lead seems to counteract that.
5. Lastly, I think there is some aspect of perspective used on the shadow of the bird.

I find myself enjoying doing contour/blind drawings of straight/hard angles. For ex. Lance Armstrong’s bike in bottom left corner
