Our first project for Art 3 was a eraser drawing. Mr. Varney told us that the best thing to use for this project was something small and shiny so I brought a pill box. It fit in the palm of my hand, though it doesn't look like it in this picture. First a drew it from different angels in my sketch book to see which angel looked best. Then I practiced drawing it bigger in my sketch book. After that I drew it on the big paper. We had to tape the paper to boards so that the paper wouldn't rip and the ebony pencil would come out darker. After drawing the picture I want over it with ebony pencil and made all the darks really dark. Then I dragged a eraser over it to smudge the ebony pencil. I tried to keep all the lines going in the same direction. I went back over the picture and redrew the parts that got too erased. When I was finished there was a lot of white space left so I added her wings in the background. On the actual pill box the wings were torn off the back of the statue so in the picture I put tears in her wings. I'm really happy with how this project turned out and I can't wait to start our next project.
