This charcoal drawing shows plenty of reflective surfaces and how light interacts on a spherical object. the focal point of this picture is the ball as that is where the light is hitting in the most interesting way. there was a cone behind the sphere which had some very interesting light effects on but unfortunately i couldn't see a lot of it from where i was sitting. the light on the sphere was very interesting as there where some very definite reflections on the top and a couple of fainter ones on the bottom. But at the same time there was also a lot of shadow on the ball especially on the bottom closest to the table. The drapery worked really well on this drawing, having had practice on my previous charcoal picture I got the folds and creases a lot better this time. I made the lines around the edge of the ball and drapes quiet heavy making it stand out so it might become an implied line. The fact i could smooth and smudge the charcoal made it possible to have some good gradients and soft highlights. Just like the last one i shaded the background black so as to make the foreground stand out.
