Still-life setting and drawing

After I spent enough time arranging my still-life setting, I started from a drawing to define the space and shapes of each subject.

In the process of setting up, I have already spent time thinking through the concept, the mood, the space (include the negative space), and how the colors would work together. In the drawing step, I did a final evaluation of the setting till I was completely satisfied with the arrangement.
