Week 8 - Reflective and refractive surfaces

This drawing took probably just  over an hour.
The perspective should be apparent in the sheets of paper under the objects. I put those in mostly to ease myself in seeing the refractions, but in the end I realised they are probably the only thing showing perspective in a fare amount.
Not much thought in composition... This setup seemed the best way to get some nice refractions and reflections, which were the things I was aiming for the most.
For a difference from my last drawing, I actually love the way this one turned out to look. I got a great bending of the sheet of paper in the glass to the leftmost side. I also got really interesting shadow rays on the right of the glass pyramid and some decent reflections in both the glass and the bigger candle. There is also some bending of the light in the top of the glass, and some interesting reflections inside the pyramid.
In terms of surfaces(non-reflective) - there are only the sheets of paper, the wooden table and the plastic chair in the back... non of which look shockingly realistic, but at least the paper should look a bit realistic with the little creases (which I am very happy with).
