What to do:

• Hang the hat on the back of a kitchen chair.
• Hang the spotlight above your hat to get effective lighting.
• Use faint lines first and sketch the hat with pencil.
• Do not sketch the entire chair, only a small part where the hat hangs on.
• Try to draw the curves of the hat by using shadow and light.
• Finish your drawing using your charcoal effectively.
• Try sketching a shoe which is sitting next to a log.
• You can look at the shoe from any angle you like. The example below is the back view of a shoe.
• Again....use your charcoal effectively and get those shadows and lighter bits in.
• Try to get that 'bark' texture look .... back
