Self portrait with objects

In Drawing 1 (2011) the assignment was to pick three objects that described you. I chose my  Finn hat, an owl necklace I made, and a 5hr energy bottle Haha! To make it a composition, the professor and I put the hat on a gourd within a vase to prop the hat up.

I couldn't get rid of the shadow from taking a picture of the piece. I think I received a low A on this assignment because I could have pushed the value more. 

Lead pencils on large drawing paper.
