A ceramic jug with a pinched spout

Practice a ceramic jug with clear forms and selected overlaps. Shape the top ellipse and pull one side into a short spout. Keep the rim opening readable. Join a broad handle to the upper and lower body. Use graphite inside the rim and at the handle roots.

A way into the drawing

1. Round the jug body

   Draw a rounded belly that narrows toward the rim. Add a small foot beneath it.

2. Pinch the pouring rim

   Shape the top ellipse and pull one side into a short spout. Keep the rim opening readable.

3. Attach the curved handle

   Join a broad handle to the upper and lower body. Use graphite inside the rim and at the handle roots.

A small thing to tryCheck the handle’s open space before darkening the attachments.
