Draw a contour drawing of what you see
Make sure to draw what the pumpkins are sitting on; they don’t need to be sitting in space
Draw your still life with shading, high values, low values, and middle tones
Make sure your drawing has cast shadows, implied texture, where needed, and lots of contrast
Make sure the light source is coming from the same direction on all objects
Have the light source come from the ceiling
Remember your reflected light
