The artist has a chance to arrange these objects in order to work out the composition of their artwork.
In addition, they are a great way to practice and develop observational drawing techniques.

Starting your STILL LIFE

Setting up your composition:
Plan your drawing by planning the arrangement of your objects (Remember - you have control as the artist!)
Think about the OVERALL “shape of the objects”, how they will appear on the page

Start your drawing…
• LIGHTLY sketch out shapes of objects
• Work out the kinks now… get the perspective, composition and proportions right…

TIPS FOR WORKING ON YOUR STILL LIFE Project
![Page 32: Still life](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051213/55c7924bbb61eb955d8b45d9/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
TIPS FOR WORKING ON YOUR STILL LIFE:
1. Drawing Position - sit with a board in your lap, held at an angle (45 degree) so you can see your subject AND your drawing at the same time.
2. PLAN before you draw! You can use a viewfinder if you want… Think about the composition and how you will arrange elements on the page.
3. Sketch out your composition lightly! Work out proportions and perspective BEFORE you get detailed and add value. You can use a light pencil (2h).
4. After working out your contours, planes and shapes, begin adding VALUE. Add value slowly - layering to build up deep tones. DO NOT define edges with lines, define them with shifts in value. This will take some planning.
5. Make sure you achieve a full range of value. Beginners tend to draw too lightly and end up with a washed-out looking drawing. See a value scale if you need reference.
