 * This is a copy of Andy Warhol's picture** (See the original here: Wine Bottles)

I told my mom that I would draw her a picture, and since she likes to display wine bottles in our kitchen she might also enjoy this. I started this drawing on last Thursday during class, and got the outlining done before the period was over. I found that it was difficult to get the bottles to look identical to each other, the shapes were hard to mimic. I used a lot of my eraser going over the same spots over and over again until I got them the way I wanted. Next, I shaded the background and outlined the bottles once more. Today, [Saturday] I applied layers of colored pencil and shaded the inside of the bottles. This was a pretty messy project because my hand would smear the picture, so I used problem solving to find that putting a blank piece of paper on top of my drawing would keep my hand from smearing the piece. I think this project is helping me learn how to work more quickly and efficiently, when you know you only have a little bit of time to complete a project you dive into the drawing instead of messing around until the last minute.
