Toast fine ink study

One slice of toast viewed slightly from above with a small square of butter and a clear crust edge. Practice form, overlap and selective shading in fine ink.

A way into the drawing

1. Establish the main shapes

   Draw the rounded top and straight lower bread edge.

2. Connect the structure

   Add a parallel crust contour and the small butter block.

3. Develop the drawing

   Use selective interior marks and local shadow groups to explain the overlaps. Keep the lighter planes open rather than shading every surface.

A small thing to tryMake the butter top and sides belong to one small solid.
