Daily Drawing Challenge: Day 28 - Crystal ball (upside down)

Hello community, today I participated in daily drawing challenge, one of the people who inspired me was pen ink sketch work from @maxwellmarcusart, and this is my entry for July 28th "upside down" challenge.

I use 2B graphite pencils and HVS paper.

The stages

I made a circle around the crystal ball and started drawing inside it.

After I finished drawing in the crystal ball, then I shaded it.

For the background of crystal ball, I draw a scene according to the reflection image in a crystal ball, and the last step I take is shading until I am sure the background is in accordance with reflected image.

Finally this sketch is complete.
