Assignment # 1- Vanitas Study- Outlines

Divide your sketchbook paper into two sections, 6 inches tall. 
In the top section, sketch roughly the Vanitas you see on your table.

TIPS

• Draw LIGHTLY. This is called a study so you are studying what you see and practicing drawing it. 
• BLOCK OUT THE SHAPES YOU SEE. Start basic and then add in more detail as you go. 
• Draw the biggest shapes first, and then add in details.
