I've always thought that I was horrible at pencil drawings, maybe because Emily is really good at them and mine looked awfull. In art class today we did a still-life drawing, each one of us brought an item and then we put them all together in the middle of the table and sat on different sides. It was kind of cool, all of us got a different angle of the same thing. These were the items: an old book, a phone, a shoe, and a glass cup with a paintbrush in it.
The biggest thing I learned today was shading! It makes so much difference in the way the picture turns out. Some things that are incredibly hard to draw, like noses, are mostly shading. It gives depth to the picture and is way more interesting. Okay, maybe I'll stop now since you're probably falling asleep.
But it was really fun! I'll take some pictures and post them when we're all finished.
