Abstract painting from man-made form

For this exercise, I chose to firstly draw a can opener from various angles to find a view which would allow me to isolate areas of particular interest.

I focused in on the underside of the can opener as there was an interesting mixture of textures, angles, lines and colours.

From this, I transferred the main lines to another sketch and, ignoring the original drawing, added tones to the composition, changing the focus of the drawing and also to change it from the original.
