Contour/Texture-American Football

Media: Ebony or B's pencils, different kinds of textures, and eraser 
Description: 

We were told to set a composition of the picture from the magazines. We had to include two people and should not choose a drawing or a cartoon. The original was two boys playing American Football and one boy was attacking another. Two of boys seem to be Junior High School students. Their bodies weren’t muscular but feminine.

Drawing wasn’t that hard but choosing textures for boys were hard. First of all, I started with number on the players’ uniforms. I chose a matt because it has regular bumps which give a square pattern. I also tried to make it a three-dimensional look by pressing some parts harder. I chose a straw hat for a boy’s helmet. The straw hat has rounded pattern which also could help illustrating roundness of the helmet. I overlapped some parts to give a three-dimensional look. I chose a leather chair for skins, speaker for the player’s shirt, tiles for some part of the shirt, air-conditioner’s stripes for the sock, and vertical lines for the background which could possibly help two figures separate from the background.

When I was selecting textures for my assignment, I thoroughly thought about each figure’s real texture—Rough surface for rough texture, soft surface for soft texture, and so on.
