Lesson 1 :
Shading Drawing
I used the hatch style to draw this image, which is lipstick.
Lesson 2 :
Creative Drawing
I changed the shape and add different patterns to the lipstick, which look similar to the hourglass-shaped. Also, I added the nylon lace on the lipstick's cover, making makes it looks cuter and more dreamy.

Contemporary and experimental drawings
- Contemporary drawing:
the artistic practice of drawing from roughly 1960/1970 up to today
predominantly working on a paper surface using dry media
E.g.: such as graphite, pencil, charcoal, chalk, or wet media, like ink, bister, sepia, markers, pastel or watercolour
- Experimental Drawing:
explores the boundaries of traditional approaches in drawing media
The aim is to ask questions about what a drawing exactly is, explore the conventions of drawing, and experiment with unfamiliar/unexpected materials, methods, theories and presentations in the medium of drawing

From this artwork, you can see that there are three lines intertwined, which are blue, red, and yellow, and a glimpse of the painting is very chaotic, but it seems to be connected to each other. Moreover, this work deliberately uses three brighter colours as the main colours of the work, and they are closely intertwined as if to imply that something or a secret is related but mysterious and incomprehensible.
Experimental Drawing:

In this painting, the artist uses a stick figure style to lightly depict a mother carefully holding her baby and gently caring for her baby to sleep. And the mother in the painting is kissing his baby as if expressing her love and care for the baby, and even showing that the relationship is very close. Also, we can see that the painter does not completely paint the whole human body, but only uses some simple lines, so it looks a little abstract.
