Cross Hatch Still Life

A still life of a round bag, garlic, two books, a ball, a candle holder, dropper bottle, and mug. All cross-hatched for dimension and value.

I drew this still life of various objects from my room by first sketching out basic forms. I drew the objects on top of these basic forms and corrected them as I saw appropriate, using sighting and measuring techniques. Finally, as I decided that the forms were correct, I added cross-hatching to add dimension and inform the shape of the objects. I used vine charcoal and conte crayon for the basic shape and form of the objects, and finalized them with a graphite pencil.
