Bottle, glass, and apple



I did this sketch (charcoal, 14 x 17) for the weekly sketch challenge on wetcanvas. While i was working, i thought that the glass was a little misshapen but that the bottle was fine. It was only after spraying the drawing and going away for a few hours that i was able to notice how misshapen the glass was and that the bottle was way too wide.
I did step away from the drawing while i was working to view it from across the room, but i didn't notice those problems then. I should have tried looking in a mirror while i was still working. I need to learn to pay closer attention to proportions while i'm working, and to not spray the result with fixative until i've left it for a few hours.
