Skateboard (middle one)

I made the skateboard in the middle of this picture. I only used a straight-edge and markers to create this symmetric piece of lines, which as you can see overlap each other. It's important to notice that the structure of the interacting lines consists of "X's" and triangles, which are two geometrically and structurally strong shapes. Finally, i used the colors purple and red to give the board a sense of royalty (these two colors are common symbols of wealth). Please feel free to give your feedback.

1-Perspective Room

This is a drawing of an imaginary room from one perspective point, located on the back wall. The first thing you might notice is how the entire room looks foggy and shaded. I did this purposefully to make it clear that is was an imaginary room and can't be viewed clearly like a real room. I gave emphasis to the poster on the right wall which says "Power is Perceived" simply by leaving it white and not blurry. This emphasis gives another meaning to the picture, which i will let you readers interpret on your own. 

2nd Project - Front view

This is a portrait of my girlfriend done entirely in pencil. I did a lot of experimentation with the shading in this project and I'm happy with how it turned out, particularly her hair. She has thick, full hair and used dark lines and smudging to give her hair a sense of fullness in the portrait. Like my self-portrait, this also has a full range of value from black to white. I also utilize the white halo-like space around her to make her stand out more from the grey background. Overall, i think this portrait shows this girl in a positive light. 

Profile of Myself - 1st project

This is a self-portrait of myself made entirely with pencil. This was my first time using shading in a sketch and i think i used it well with the exception of my forehead; that area is a little too dark and if i could draw this over again i definitely would have made it lighter . Because of the black undershirt I'm wearing, this portrait has a full range of value, a clear contrast between the dark shirt and my lighter skin. I'm very proud of the way my hair turned out. Even though it looks strange at first, the texture and shape in the picture accurately represent my hair in real life. Please feel free to comment.
