exercise in shading no.2

Here's my second drawing for Thursday's assignment. It gets easier with practice I guess. This is the fourth object I've drawn with shading, and I'm not nearly as frustrated. I used the crosshatching technique. I think crosshatching works well in some places, and not so well in large and heavily shaded areas.
The still life/object is the creamer from my collection of Wedgwood "Edme" china. I didn't draw the details in the pattern, rather just the shadows cast from the light.
