Still life using made objects.

I have now finished the last two drawings, before I send them off for the first assignment.  I was determined not to spend days and days on drawing these.  I must admit the pencil drawing took a little longer than the colour one, but I had to call it a day at some time. 

The cotton reel caused me a huge headache, as did the tape measure.  I did begin to think I was completely mad to even think I could draw a tape measure, but it did seem to fit with the other items really well.  I wasn't convinced about the composition either, and as you can see from the colour drawing I did pull the items a little closer together to connect them a little better.
