What to do:

• Arrange the bone, handsaw and wooden log on the table.
• Draw this display looking at it from the first angle.
• Use light pencil markings first before you begin shading the darker areas.
• Use kneadable rubber to highlight where the light falls.
• Try making the bark on the log look like bark.
• Draw the same display again but this time change position.
• Drawing the display from various angles will make your drawing look very different, see examples above... back
