The splendid
cargo basket called out to me, but proved to be difficult to (a) see and (b) get close enough to, in a drawing position, to be able to see it better -
There were enticing shadows, though....
So I tried to capture some shadows, using water-soluble crayon, only to find the waterbrush wasn't working well. It turned out to need refilling! Plan B, at the bottom of the page, was to draw around the shadow-shapes, and I went on to do a page of small renditions of various shadows, for which I have "plans".

My two approaches to shadows |

Najlaa's red door |
|
Mags' hooks and other implements |
|
Janet found some lifeboat equipment |
|
Joyce's barrels |
|
Sue was in danger of getting lost among the spokes |
Tool of the week - Joyce has several Rotring Art Pens, with different colours of ink -
A review/comparison of these pens is
here, and the company's website is
here. As for how to use it -
this snippet of a video will get you started.

Your drawn shadow outlines are lovely. Definitely promising. I look forward to seeing what you do with them.
