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 structure, perspective and developed values 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

   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 the lens ellipses aligned with the front face.
