Vanitas drawing day 23

It took me about 4 days to finish the flower. This was another part, as well as the background, that I decided not to use watercolor for and I am glad I continued on with graphite. All and all I am pleased with what I got so far. Now the only part that hasn't been worked on is the fabric directly behind the flower. This will take a few more hours. Then I am going to refine the whole piece making minor adjustments. I have been working at a steady pace of approximately 6 hours a day. I am keeping a log so that this information will come in handy when I estimate the time I will need to work on other pieces.
