Learn How To Sketch Still  Life by Apollo Baker 

A good sketch makes a strong foundation for every good drawing, During my drawing classes, I have discovered two grave drawing errors. The first is where one has a good sketch only to destroy it with poor shading. And the second is where one has a very poor sketch and works so hard in an attempt to turn it into a good drawing by giving it 'proper shading. You can't have a good finished drawing from a wrong sketch. But any good sketch with proper shading will always result into a good finished drawing t you are verypoorat sketching, you are going to have problems with your drawings all through.
