Size, shape, proportion, solidity and depth
I have made a few sketches of cylindrical objects whilst accurately trying to capture proportion and depth. Not so much solidity in this case because the excerise was to make the closest objects transparent so the viewer could see the lines of the objects behind. When I draw, be it a quick sketch or a more controlled drawing, I am always making quick comparisons and taking mental measurements. Sometimes I will use a physical aid, like a pencil, to gage distance but more often than not I will just make a visual comparison between a few points within the subject or the negative space.
This excerise was to draw only cylindrical objects. A quick observation made me realise that the cylindrical tops were shallower the further away the object was. The closest objects obviously had deeper oval tops and the bottoms of the objects were deeper still.
This is my study of jars and jugs
