Both still life drawings were made using soft pencils and show a scene which contains many objects of different shapes and textures. The composition is a balanced one which is pleasing to the eye.
The first picture focuses on the representation of form - strong lines which describe silhouettes and mark certain details on the objects. Construction lines were used during measuring to maintain accurate proportions, but also to mark the spacing of each object and give a sense of depth.
There is a clear sense of depth in the second picture, in which shading was used to further describe the shape of the objects. The table cloth manages to tie the whole scene together, but it could have been shaded more, for a better effect.
