Spend 10 minutes doing gesture drawings with reference images from Line-of-Action.com
Practice for two minutes each image.
WHAT ARE WE LEARNING: How to make a still life drawing using our reference images.
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT: Making a still life drawing helps us to develop our artistic style through observation of how things in the world actually look.
HOW WILL MY TEACHER KNOW WHAT I LEARNED: You will create your own still life drawing that shows good composition, sketching/gesture techniques, and full range of realistic value shading.

Draw a circle by making light, repeating circular marks. Draw an ellipse under the circle to outline the cast shadow.
2. Erase the oval that falls inside the circle. Draw another ellipse to outline the shadow on the sphere.
3. Erase the top half of the line for the ellipse. Shade in everything on the shadow side as one, medium-dark value.
