A 15 minute drawing of drapery on a chair, this drawing is focused on being quick and efficient in style. This is achieved by using long, continuous lines which are measured and observed, and large areas of smudged shading to create different tonal values and highlights. The checker pattern is then essentially an overlay over this layer with some highlights picked out with a rubber. The checkers have been observed to make sure that they appear to follow the curvature of the fabric.
The composition in this image is not brilliant as the chair and fabric appear to be floating in space due to the lack of background, and there is no rule of thirds. However the image is balanced down the centre and has some good lines along the edge of the inside of the cloth.
