Day 2: Desk Items



It's day 2 of my 30 day challenge, and I made a post it note, paint brush, thumbtack, paperclip, and some crumbled pieces of paper shaded in with pencil. I discovered a neat trick on how to shade paper. You color with pencil on one piece, take another piece of paper, and rub that in it to get all the graphite smeared onto it, then fold another piece exactly how you want it drawn. Next you take the paper covered in the graphite powder, and rub it along the edges of the folded piece. And voila! A shaded piece of paper! I learned this method in high school, and I am still finding many ways to apply it.
