A wristwatch with a curved strap

A study of a wristwatch with twelve hour markers and a curved leather strap on textured paper. Set the watch-face ellipse and bend the strap away from it.

A way into the drawing

1. Establish the main forms

   Set the watch-face ellipse and bend the strap away from it.

2. Build the structure

   Add the case thickness, crown, buckle and strap holes.

3. Develop selected details

   Place twelve simple ticks and two hands, then shade the strap bends and case.

A small thing to tryProject the hour marks around the face ellipse before adding the hands.
