Drawing Christmas Baubles

I have just bought some mundane objects to draw...yes, these are the items in question. Christmas baubles and it's only September. No statuary here for a realist challenge, just orbs, shiny orbs, which are well nigh impossible to render, but try I shall. I intended for the Drawing Vault to have a real vault of drawings to catalogue my progress, but with so little time, and so few opportunities to get into the studio, I am having a rebellion all of my own. Who on earth would choose such items? Well, yes, me, but why? They are beautiful in real life to be sure, but they are also difficult objects to draw. I know this because eggs are notoriously difficult to render in paint and nearly as difficult in pencil, but this should be a lot of fun. Once I have had a few tries, I will be painting them in as many styles as I need to investigate everything about them, and I will post them over on the Painting Vault.

I am having a lot of thoughts about drawing, but this one has no real romance in it for me, except the technical challenge. I love the objects and their colours, but they are so industrial and so prolific, I just wonder if I will be able to sustain the project through to its end.
