Picture 2

This is a selection of drawings produced using medium grade charcoal; The first of the drawings is a composition of 3 primitive objects arranged upon a table covered in drapery. The second of the drawings is a study of 2 primitive objects, however this time lit by a spot light. Each drawing took 40 minutes to capture.

The first drawing has no true focal point, however it has a strong implied line leading from the dark area of the cylinder, down to the darker area of the cuboid then leading around the cylindrical pyramid and back along the drapery. However, the second drawing has a focal point being the area where the light hits the sphere.

An error with the first drawing is how there is a "halo" around the objects; simply, the way to overcome this issue is by shading fully to the edge of the objects. With the second drawing however, the perspective and proportioning of the objects to the table is incorrect. The drawing still has a professional look despite the lack of perspective.
