This is a composition drawing produced using a medium sized graphite stick; the drawing is of several objects arranged upon a table covered in drapery, (the drapery is not visible in the image simply due to the objects taking priority). The time taken to produce this drawing was roughly 20-30 minutes.

The drawing is structured with vertical and horizontal lines, (later having shading applied over the top), to produce a three dimensional form to the, what would appear to be, flat objects. The lines used to provide a three dimensional form also create an implied line; starting at the left horn of the skull, leading up the the vase at the back, down the handle onto the smaller jug and leading into the square vase at the front of the image.

An error with this drawing is how the jar on the far left has been 'orphaned' from the rest of the objects, this is due to the vantage point this drawing was captured from; a backdrop could rectify this issue, or by including the drapery to the drawing.
