Time Capsules

The subject of my drawings is for the first one, a trashcan, the middle one is a self portrait, and the last one is a corner of a room. These drawings were made because as we look back at them throughout the year we will be able to improve on them with new techniques that we learn throughout the year. I made all three of these drawings with just a mechanical pencil that uses 0.7 led. I created the trash can because as I was looking around the classroom I saw a trash can in the hallway so I decided to draw that. The drawing of the room corner is the corner of the library, I was in there during study hall and needed to draw a corner of a room.

My self portrait drawing evolved over time because I wasn't happy how I wasn't able to draw the hair. I tried multiple things but I didn't like any of them. After changing my hair multiple times I settled on this one. The story behind the trash can is that I wanted to draw something that I knew no one else has drawn so I thought and I realized who would draw a trash can out of all things. I wanted to do something different because I didn't want to draw something common that people draw like a pencil/pen for example, I wanted to draw something no one else would do. This project relates to my life because I don't usually like to do what everyone else does. For example, let's say that you have two things to pick from and everyone picks the same one I usually would go to the other one. If I could go back and revise one thing it would definitely be using a ruler or a straight edge for my corner drawing because my lines are not straight at all. If I used a ruler and actually made the lines straight my drawing could look a lot better.
