In class, we were given 20 min to do each drawing, a self-portrait, a corner of a room, and a still life object. The main idea was to just try your best to show your current skill and how do can do certain things. I had some troubles while drawing but I overcame those and I'm really glad about how they came out.

I used all graphite pencils and printer paper

my self-portrait was where I struggled the most because you have to try to make it look like you as much as possible but it is very hard to get everything 100% correct with drawing the eyes and ears and mouth and noses just because that's what features make it look like you. With my corner-of-a-room drawing, that's my favorite, and the best of the three because you get to see it constantly and there are no curvy lines everything is staying still and that makes it easier to draw especially with the shading. In my last drawing of the eraser, I feel like I could have done a little better with the execution and the shading it almost looks kind of unrealistic because of how much shadow there is.
