Final Still Life Drawing - Chiaroscuro

Our final for this class was to set up a still life at home and work from it for three weeks. I could only work on this at night because the light source had to be set up a certain way. Although I had put in a lot of hours already I still need to do a little bit more with darkening the background and the bottom of the table so that there's a distinction between that and the foreground. Also the bottle still needs work and also I need to pick out more lights around the foreground... maybe I will work on this some more over break :-)

We were to apply all of the techniques and concepts we had learned from class all semester, here's a breakdown of the notes
