Scissors fine ink study

One pair of slightly open scissors, two loop handles, one pivot and two continuous blades. Practice structure, perspective and developed values in fine ink.

A way into the drawing

1. Establish the main shapes

   Set the central pivot and two blade directions.

2. Connect the structure

   Attach one handle loop to each blade through the pivot.

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 tryTrace each blade continuously into its own handle.
