My Drawing Pencil
Date: High School Freshman, 2006-7
Time: About 30 minutes to an hour.
Materials: Mechanical 0.5 pencil, notebook paper
Description: A shortened, shaded, realistic drawing of a mechanical 0.5mm pencil, drawn with the same pencil. Black, silver, shiny.
Artist Comments: I drew this mechanical 0.5 pencil with this mechanical 0.5 pencil. I was bored in my homeroom class and I didn't know what to draw. While staring at a blank page, I started to look at my pencil and then.... inspiration!
I was just originally trying to draw the top of it, but then I figured I could do the bottom as well. However, this was in the corner of the page (the bottom left corner) and there was no room to draw the pencil in its full length. I shortened the pencil to fit, leaving out the boring middle of the pencil that has no designs on it.
I think most people seem to really enjoy seeing my drawings of still-life. Drawing still-life is a little boring to me because it involves no creativity, only drawing skill, which I already have. It’s great for practice, but it’s not something that I would define as art, unless I combined it with other things and angled it in a special way. A lot of people seem to enjoy my still-life’s though.
