3D Art Analysis: Kitchen Drawer Drawing

For this piece of artwork I used pencil and a smudger. I made this in my 9th grade year for my art and design class. The title of this work is "Kitchen Drawer Drawing". My first impression when viewing the artwork is the background drowns out the objects, the objects are not dark enough while the background is too dark. Most of the objects can be recognized. Some of them the shading make the objects seem more like a blur than any kitchen item, so it makes it somewhat unrecognizable. The subject, or focal point of this drawing is the frying pan.

There are some objects that are more of a solid color rather than having a full range of value. For example the small ice cream scoop is mostly flag color except for the actual spoon
