Today we got started on a new unit, called "A walk in my shoes". We are going to make a drawing which includes shoes, preferrably worn by us in the drawing, and is to represent our culture. I think that this is going ot be an interesting unit, as haven't really done anyhing like this, and I like symbolism. I also like making drawings, because I like the challenge of representing colour through different shades.
During the lesson, we were to draw the shoes that we were wearing that day. First we made a scale of shades, ranging from white to the darkest we could manage. It was a bit difficult getting the various sections of the scale even, but after a while I got satisfied with the result.
Then, we created a contour drawing of our shoes. Once we were happy with the shape, we started shading using the scale we created in the beginning of the lesson as reference of how dark the shading should be. Since my shoes were black, I had to use mainly the dark part of my scale, and a little of the light for highlights.
