Week 6 - Still Life

This drawing took about 2 hours in total to complete. I started with about 30mins of planing, measuring and sketching using a pencil, added shades with charcoal and in the end I redrew all the lines with charcoal just to keep the drawing consistent and to get all the lines visible again.
I did not think much about composition on the piece of paper while setting up my scene, I aimed at getting the objects at a slightly different distance from me so that they don't all start from the same horizontal line. I also  moved the candle around until I got it to be behind the banana, but not to merge or intersect with the bowl.
The scene had 3 light sources, 1 at the top (the lamp on the ceiling; casting very soft shadows on the board), one to the front left corner of the board(my phone; casting hard shadows from the banana onto the bowl and the candle) and the candle flame(casting a soft shadow on the bowl).
