Composition: Still Life Drawing


Another still life drawing, I started first by setting up the composition, and adding some lights in order to start drawing. The balance of the drawings look ok, I have kept the drawing as simple as I could in order not to distract the viewer from the main objects in the drawing. The objects are not floating, they are grouped together, nothing is orphaned. The shading in the drawing looks good, I've chosen to make a gradient as a background because the table was too white, so I had to balance somehow the lack of grey in the composition. The bowl and the jug are nearly kissing, I've tried to not make them be kissing objects, I think I  have managed to do that alright. The sketch took about 40 minutes to be completed.

What I could have done better: Trying to avoid having the bowl and the jug nearly kissing. Trying to draw better ellipses
