Self Portrait: 8.5 x 8 in

Building: 12.5 x 9 in

Despise: 9 x 12.75 in

These are my time capsule projects, an annual project with specific prompts to follow. My projects consist of, a self portrait from a downward angle, a drawing of the exterior of a barn, and a drawing of a full laundry basket (which I despise). These relate to my life because one is of me, one is the barn where I go everyday, and one is the laundry basket in my room.

For my self portrait and the building I used only graphite but for the laundry basket I used marker, colored pencil, water-soluble graphite pencils, silver ink pen, and regular graphite.

For my two graphite pieces my processes were pretty straightforward and simple, I looked at the thing I saw in front of me and sketched it out as well as I could. For my laundry basket I had a lot more trouble trying to capture the angles of the walls and floors and it could definitely use more details like adding the picture I have on my wall to the wall shown in the picture and even an outlet in the wall would add a lot more to the piece.
