Evaluating Sketches for Pastel Painting

"Now I'm going to start adding some of the more finer details that I skipped over when I was doing my rough sketch. Seeing the handle on here, which has a circular kind of shape, and it's a distance approximately one third of the way down this edge, so I'll just rough it in a little bit more shape like this, and rough in the center area. This other one is facing me, it's in perspective, it's coming out this way, and the shape that I see is kind of a rectangle and it interferes with this edge so here's my rectangle. And it follows the curve, and there's the inside part. And then we can add this. Now I'm pretty happy with what I've got. We haven't drawn in the bottom wire or bamboo stand, so let's rough that in. And at this point I think I'm pretty much ready to start to move to start using pastels themselves. And I can retire my charcoal."
