Six B&W Spheres

BKW

After reading Todd Casey’s “The Art of Still Life” I have been drawing more and doing the suggested black and white exercises.  This is the same ball six ways from life. Feedback/critique welcome!

Looks great, it's good practice in bare basics and I can clearly see how this can be easily applied and be of benefit. The next step for me would be to take the actual objects that are used in a still life and practice as shown here before proceeding into a final painting. The only thing that I can see that is missing for me are variations in view points in perspective, perhaps that's another exercise to include in the process.

excellent studies. Maybe you can simplify the areas more by segregating them such as...spot highlight, light, core shadow, reflected light, cast shadow.

Those little images didn't do you work justice. That a nice sphere. Well done.

@KingstonFineArt @kaustavM @Forgiveness thank you.  They were fun to do.
