a hard object. There's scales and spikes and loops... Most people sketch fruit and dishes... Anyways, as I sketched along I realized that right away when using charcoal, light areas need to be marked somehow. That way you don't smudge over the light spots or make them too dark to be able to pull out with an eraser. The dragon is supposed to look shiny. Or at the very least, plastic. It's tech
nically resin, but shiny nonetheless. I don't know how shiny I got it to look. Nor did I want to take the time to sketch hundreds of individual scales. But, regardless, I sketched until it was kinda done. The loops are all wrong! They don't look like they're a smooth coil. Kinda kinked and awkward really. That has a lot to do with me not measuring the negative space with my eyes well enough. Bah. I don't think I'll finish it, but it was a good try. Next time I do a still life, I'm going to pick something a little simpler to draw until I get used to looking at a 3D object.
