Graphite pencils on drawing paper

The main idea that guided my choice of drawing a computer for my Still Life prompt was that when I was staring at my page and didn't know what to draw I saw my computer and started to draw it. For my Room drawing, I was gonna pick a room in a class but I chose my living room because I know what it looks like and doesn't need to be looking at it to know what to draw. 

What I used to draw my drawings are graphite pencils and drawing paper. I also used pencils at one point because my graphite pencils were not with me. When drawing my self-portrait I used a mirror to try to draw myself more accurately.

The process I went through with my drawings is that for the still life and room drawings I started with the overall shape of the room then I started shading where shadows might/were appearing.
