teacup drawinng exercise
plan, section, elevation






probably more challenging than i expected it to be, the freehand drawing of the teacup tested alot of precision ability. I think for me it kind of got me thinking of how much i depend on tools to draw. Getting back to just using a ruler, and drawing circles and curves by moving your hand in natural curving motions and arcs therefore tests and measures alot of hand eye coordination which was interesting to disover. In the end i think i was really proud of the result especially the circles as seen in the plan, which turned out not perfect but still very good. The white ceramic of the teacupe dispresed and reflected light in not just a single direction and hence i ended up with a kind of feathery delicate shading weight that i hope emphasised this movement of light on the teacup surface.
