Camera fine ink study

One compact camera in three-quarter view, box body, central cylindrical lens and top shutter button; no brand or lettering. Practice clear contours and a few local shadows in fine ink.

A way into the drawing

1. Establish the main shapes

   Block in the box with a visible top and side.

2. Connect the structure

   Build the lens from concentric ellipses and add the shutter button.

3. Develop the drawing

   Refine the clear outer contour, add only the most useful interior details and place a few small local shadows. Leave most of the paper open.

A small thing to tryKeep the lens ellipses aligned with the front face.
