For Crushed Cans I used a coke can that I had crushed and drew then used oil pastels to color values and a cast shadow. I struggled a little to begin with when drawing the leterrs but after a few tties I had it. I enjoyed using oil pastels over using colored pencils since they're quicker and blend better. The only thing I would change would be to have an example up during the whole project. The key to this project was to actually look at the can.
