Life drawing of stools

In this session on the 1st October we were asked to draw another life drawing. This included a stool, chair, 2 easels and 2 lamps which were all interwined together. Materials used in this session were a 2B pencil and cartridge paper. Techniques I used during this session were shaded drawing and positive and negative space. We weren't asked to draw the objects we were asked to look for positive and negative space within the still life. By drawing this, It meant that when shaded in it would show the image. By also shading in the background it would mean that the image would appear as you carry on shading the negative spaces.
Areas of my work I think worked well was the bottom of my chair. Because I drew the negative spaces in the still life it meant that as I carried in drawing the image started to come to life and actually look like something. I think the size is right and is in proportion. 
Areas of my work I think could be improved would be the top of my drawing. This is because I don't think it matches the bottom half of my drawing and isn't very proportional or drawn to scale. 
To extend my skills I will change the size of the top of my drawing by re-drawing it making sure that the size of the shapes are accurate and that it is drawn to scale and everything is equal.
