NICE TITLE, EH?

This is my midterm project for my Art 123: Descriptive Drawing class. We were to render something that focuses on trompe-l'oeil, something that "tricks the eye." We could do stuff like glass or reflection, whatever. Originally I wanted to do a combination lock with Mardi-Gras beads on a laptop and a mirror, but it was too hard and I "spilled coffee on it" so I ditched that project a week before the midterm was due. So I spent my Spring Break drawing this in 4 days... yeah. I didn't think I could pull it off, but I had to do what I had to do. Got an A on this project; and this was considered my best graphite drawing all semester.

Time: 21 hours.
Dimensions: 10x10-inches with 2-inch white border (not shown).
Medium: Graphite on 3ply 14x14-inch plate Bristol board.
