Self Portrait
So up until now we've been concentrating on to do the job of making the drawing. This week I want you to address Light and Shadow. Set yourself up looking at a mirror just like before, but now I want you make sure a light source--like a lamp or a window--is nearby to create areas of shadow and areas of light. Using pencil, shade in the shadows and the negative space, and leave the illuminated areas the white (or near white) of the paper.
Object in Perspective
You are to choose a rectilinear object in your house (or one with lots of vertical and horizontal lines) and draw it in linear perspective. Choose where your eye level is, decide where the vanishing points would lie, and draw that object in two point perspective with as much detail as possible. If it helps, use a straight edge and make sure your verticals stay vertical! Fill a page in your sketchbook with this drawing.
