A 40 minute drawing using a palette of 4 conté crayons, this image is focused on the idea of reflections as part of a still life. This is evident mainly in the distorted reflection of the skull on the piece of card on the right, as while the rest of the card is also reflecting something, this is the area where it is shown in the composition what is being reflected. In this reflection there is also some of all 4 colours of crayon, the white constantly present, the brown and the black at the base, and the blue further away, creating a sense of moving from warmer to colder shades.
This composition feels well grounded, having the foreground of the main composition, the card, table, and skeleton, then a small midground created by a slightly less detailed lighting stand just behind, and then the background of the two walls and the other contents of the room. This creates depth for the composition and gives context to where it is and to some degree why it is there.
This drawing has multiple vanishing points because many of the objects in this image are not parallel to each other. One vanishing point is created by the whiteboard on the wall on the right, and the chairs in front of it.Another is created by the direction the skeleton is pointing, as well as line on the right of the table, which converges with the skeleton's orthogonal line. This vanishing point would hint that the horizon line is somewhere slightly above the middle of the image, which works as there is another orthogonal line created by the left side of the table, which also converges on that line.
