This is the third sketch posted this week that I used to help me finish the drawing "Christmas Birthday." This was a quick study of the positioning of the place mats on the dining table. Which were interesting in their random arrangement and contrast of color with the dark table and the highlights, shadows and reflections you can see. The place-mats had nothing to do with the final drawing, but it helps to do sketch studies that are spontaneous to keep an eventual finished drawing from being too stale.
Because this drawing was done in a pad with light weight paper, you can see spots from the marker drawing on the previous page that bled onto this page. Sometimes the effect is nice. Maybe not so much in a pencil drawing. The chair back in the front of the drawing was a study of its own, with no attempt to make it fit the scale of the table...
