  10. Still life drawing requirements • Drawing must be from direct observation NOT a photo of the still life. • Use viewfinder to create an interesting composition. • No editing of objects. Draw all objects in your viewpoint. • Draw from the same area everyday. • Draw a section of the still life but this area must include at least 6 objects ( they may be cropped ). • Your choice of ink, charcoal or pencil-each medium will require a different type of paper. • Sketch out drawing in pencil first for all mediums, make corrections before you start shading in value. • Use a drawing board and also feel free to use an easel to get a different viewpoint. You could also sit on the floor to get a different vantage point. • Drawing should contain a full value range from direct observation.
