This sketch example is of drawing negative space (which is what the spots are on the turtle's shell). Most of the time when drawing, you concentrate on details, both in the shadows as contrasted by the highlights, but when rendering negative space, your efforts go where detail can't be found. Where conflict often develops is when you add shadows. In most B&W art, shadow detail is provided by your pencil, but when rendering negative space art, shapes are dominating the heavy dark areas. You have to be ever so careful to add just enough shadows, and try to not make them blend too much with the shapes.
