Drawing Demonstration:
A Palm and a Deer Skull (continued)
All of the planes throughout the still life have been defined and shaded at this stage. The artist worked hard to define each
shift of form with a plane. The artist was tempted to call the drawing finished here because he liked the geometric interpreta-
tion of the subject. For the sake of this exercise, he proceeded to soften the transition between the various planes to enhance
the naturalistic quality of the drawing.
