For this song, I drew hands dropping off an envelope that has the "return to sender" symbol on it. The mailbox I used is from the mailbox in downtown Apex. Originally in the picture, the brick is white but I thought the red brick would add more to the picture.
This project is one of my favorites. I love how bright and shiny the blue mailbox appears against the dark red brick. I think the perspective is cool too, how the brick is kinda at a slant like it's really from the point of view of the person dropping off the letter. The skin was difficult at first. I had to mix three colors and then add dark brown to do shadows. My hand model apparently has a lot of veins and stuff, so that was more difficult to capture, but I think by just drawing and shading what I saw, I think it turned out really well. I think the blue in the mailbox turned out very well blended. I'm glad I didn't use black as much as I used dark blue in the shadows of the mailbox, I think the black would've been too overwhelming since it would be the only black featured in the drawing.
Overall, I think the drawing turned out very good and I really love it.
