This is a 15
minute sketch of a still life set-up using a graphite stick showing the shape of the objects by
drawing the Negative Spaces.
The darkened
outline and background intensifies the appearance of the objects and make this
drawing a good example of showing shape. The focal point in this sketch is the
big urn and there are two areas of interest. The first one is the skull and the
jar and the vase and the second one is the glass in front. The viewer’s gaze is
drawn from the urn to the skull through the horn and then to the little jug and
then to the vase and finally the glass in the front. This forms an implied line
which forms the shape of a circle.
The drawing
would have been a success if the value of the background would have had a lower
key. This might have been obtained by using a different kind of pencil or by
using charcoal.
