Part Two – CHARCOAL


1c/1d The next part of the drawing is to move
your position or turn your still life around on
the table so we are now looking at the group
from the side. Start your second drawing over
the top of the same drawing using the central
object now as your reference point to
compose your drawing. This point will be
your main point of departure for your next
drawing, as it will help you as the drawing
develops and becomes more complex.
Repeat for a final time so that your last
drawing as it were was from the back view.
When you have finished you will have three
linear drawings from the same still life done
over the top of each other.
1e/ We can now begin to take from this


drawing the visual potential it has to offer as
with the previous drawings in this section.
One way to do this is to take the window
mount and place it over the drawing in
different places until you find an interesting
composition that you would like to
transpose. Once you have made your larger
copy of this section you can now begin to
shade the drawing in as we have shown you
in the pencil section – the drawing after
Cezanne Landscape.
