When I started to create my still-life drawing I first began developing rough drafts to see what composition I would want to use, such as diagonal. After finding the composition I wanted to do, I went to my good quality white paper and lightly sketched the outline of the three objects. Next, I started lightly shading in the shadows. After that, I kept on shading while increasing my pressure that I would put the pencil that I was using. Throughout my drawing, I did the left skull and then worked my way to the right, which eventually formed my L composition. By the end of it, I touched up my shadows and lightly erased a few of the lines that were too dark, if the lines were too dark it would interrupt my L composition I started with. I made this drawing a reverse L composition.

Old or new does not matter to me. I love both. However, the main idea of my artwork is to express my childhood. The artwork was inspired by Jean-Michel Basquiat since it reminded me of a child's drawing .   As you can see in my artwork my arms are up, covering my face, which I also did in the actual picture. One of the reasons I did this was because I wanted to make myself look hidden. Secondly, it would be that I didn't like how my face was looking that day so I wanted to hide all theses imperfections (little did I know that it would not have mattered anyways). On the individual arms themselves, I made them different colours because in both periods of my life, childhood and now as a teenager. I've felt caught in the middle of the two spectrums of girl stereotypes and boy stereotypes since
