This one is called Wrapped Animals. I added a little extra in the background so it wouldn't look as empty. The way to do this one is to follow these steps:

1) Select an animal portrait.

2) Complete a light line drawing that is accurate and uses up at least ¾’s of the paper surface.

3) After viewing the slides of this project (anchor set/best practices), begin drawing in the contour lines that will be used as guides for your wrapping. Make it a weaving type style/pattern . The "wrapping" should vary in length and width. This should be done to both create contrast in the weaving as well as work with the patterns of dark and light in your original image.

4) Once all the pencil work is completed, carefully go over the lines with pen and ink. Fill in the negative spaces with ink.

5) Begin shading the wrapping with your pencil. Think of how the light would work with the bottom, middle and top wrapping. But be careful to not smear your work.

6) Complete your drawing by completing lifelike eyes and possibly teeth

I made this drawing in art class. We had to do a shattered value theme of any object we wanted. This is my favorite drawing because it looks sort of like a broken mirror with shading all around it. The way you can do this is by following these steps:

 

1. Select a subject of which you can make a contour line drawing. Focus on a single object, such as a car, insect, person or fish. Draw that subject to fit 12 X18 inch paper

2. "Shatter" the subject in some way by breaking it up with lines or shapes or patterns of some sort. These lines will overlap your first drawing. (There are numerous methods you could use…be creative. Think of various ways that lines break up objects: shattered glass, wavy lines of water, spiral lines as seen on a snail shell, geometrical divisions of shapes.) The objective is to create more shapes in your drawing, like a giant puzzle.

3. Create two value scales, one in divided squares, and another which is graded evenly from black to white.

4. In your drawing, focus on each individual shape you have created, and apply the entire range of value (from black to light gray) in each shape. Proceed from shape to shape, deciding which part should be the richest black and which should be the lightest gray. Sometimes you may want to alternate from one shape to the next. You may also want to vary the direction of your shading inside your object from that outside your object in order to emphasize it.

5. Fill the entire paper with values, including positive shapes of the object and negative background shapes.

This drawing took me about 5 hours or so because of the shading. To draw him, I printed a picture of him from the computer. I then had to grid the copy of the paper 1in. all around. After that I made another grid on a bigger sheet of paper but this one was 2in. I then had to draw every square from the smaller grid to the bigger sheet of paper. It was somewhat difficult because the copy of DeadPool was dark so I wasn't able to see the detail of his suit. I always start from the bottom because I then know where he stands on the paper. If I start from the top the whole body gets slanted to the side or the body looks smaller. I drew him because it was my friends present for his birthday. Now he has it in his room hung up on top of his T.V.
