Task 2 (1 hour) – Draw your

plate of food out in pencil.

When drawing out in pencil

these are hints and tips….

Sketch whole shapes lightly at

first then start adding smaller

details and textures

You don’t need to fill the whole

sheet of A4 but work quite big

If there are any details around

the plate then draw them in

too for some background

interest

Pencil Sketch……

I’ve taken my own photo to

work from for this task (my

vegan dinner balanced on

a patterned cushion!) and

will now be drawing it out

in pencil
