A way into the drawing

  1. Establish the main shapes

    Draw the uneven outer mass and main plane changes.

  2. Connect the structure

    Place shallow pits on the visible planes.

  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 tryUse the large planes to explain the volume before adding pits.
