Today I'm working on some Still Life practice, so I tried drawing my alarm clock. I think I need to practice my ellipses! This clock is not perfectly round, which seems to have made it doubly hard for me!
I have been inspired today by Vivien's Still Life Challenge, where she's challenging artists to try doing an unusual contemporary Still Life piece. I'd love to try this, and we have until the end of April I believe to get some practice in and some ideas together. I've seen one idea she suggests in her Still Life posts, something she did when she was 15, was to collect one item and draw it, then go pick another item and sketch that in, and keep going until she builds up a nice composition. Which sounds unusual but turned out pretty well for her!
Another idea I've seen from searching up various Still Life's, is where you pick items that mean something or represent something about you. And they called the piece "All About Me." What items would you collect if you were going to do a Still Life piece of objects that represent you? A fun challenge I think!

Nice shading, the numbers seem to be perfectly in place! But , I would work on the shape and shaddows! Very nice use of lighting on the top of the clock :) Good job!
