This is my art set up or display for a live drawing. I have my drawing pad to the left and my still life display to the right. I am left handed and by setting up this display as so it free's my right hand to make comparative measurements. I have cut out a cardboard box. A hole is cut at the top of the box to create an opening to cast light and shadow on the display.
This is the beginning stage the line drawing. I have drawn in contour lines to outline the form.
I have drawn in the details at this stage. However, there is no values created through shading at this point.
Now I have taken the time to shade in the values, especially the background. Also you may notice the cast shadow is formed.
This is the final stage. If you observe diligently, I have refined the details by darkening the values even more. At the bottom of the photo there are my drawing tools. I used a skewer stick to measure my subject. I have in the picture a paper stump, willow charcoal sticks, sand paper to sharpen my charcoal, chamois cloth and eraser. I did not use any graphite on this drawing only charcoal although they are with the supplies.
