A way into the drawing

  1. Establish the main shapes

    Draw the clock body and tilted face ellipse.

  2. Connect the structure

    Attach the two bells and feet, then place two clock hands.

  3. Develop the drawing

    Resolve the connected planes and overlaps, then build layered details and a full range of local values. Preserve clear paper highlights.

A small thing to tryKeep both bells connected to the clock housing.
