Solution and Explanation

Marking and approach guide.
1. Composition and proportion: place the standing man and the hand-pulled rickshaw so that the whole group fills the sheet with comfortable margins; lightly block in the man's height against the rickshaw wheel diameter, the shafts and the hood before adding detail.
2. Observation: capture the man's turban, moustache, shirt and dhoti, the two large spoked wheels, the seat and the shafts held in his hands.
3. Black and white medium only: use line, cross-hatching and stippling to create a full tonal range from white paper to dense black; no colour.
4. Light and shade: keep one consistent light direction; darken the folds of the dhoti, the underside of the hood, the gaps between the spokes and the cast shadow below the rickshaw.
5. Texture: vary stroke direction for cloth, metal wheel rims and the rough ground.
6. Examiners look for correct proportions, accurate resemblance to the given image, clean confident line work, tonal contrast and overall neatness.
