Still Life: Arrangement and composition practice at home

This was my first attempt of still-life drawing at home. I did it using charcoal.

It‘s simple, all figures all arranged in the middle. Clustered next to eatch other so that none of them look orphaned. The table and the wall lines underline that the drawing has central composition. All of the drawing action is in the corner.

I‘m not very happy about the rectangle shapes because I failed to measure them correctly that resulted in the top rectangle having blured lines next to it and bottom rectangle looking out of shape

The dark lines around the figures and deep shadows  give this drawing a three dimensional effect. Light was coming from the top left side which resulted in the right side of the objects having more dark tones.

It is another attempt of still-life drawing that I did in home using charcoal.

It looks similar to the first one. In the drawing you can see 5 diffent shapes that are clustured next to eatch other.

It has a camfortable arrangement because all the objects are in the center of the drawing almost create an implied line that starts from the cylinder, then goes to cup, from it to the orange and ends at the dark corner on the right bottom side of the rectangle.

The perspective of the drawing shows great contrast were the light hits the figures on the left side and were as on the right side it doesn‘t. This gives objects darker tonal value on the right side than on the left.
