Saturn graphite study

One Saturn-like ringed planet in three-quarter view, spherical globe and coherent tilted elliptical ring passing behind and in front. Practice structure, perspective and developed values in graphite.

A way into the drawing

1. Establish the main shapes

   Draw the globe and full ring ellipse lightly.

2. Connect the structure

   Hide the far ring behind the globe and retain the near arc.

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 tryCheck the near and far ring share the same ellipse.
