A way into the drawing

  1. Build the bottle planes

    Draw a rounded rectangular front and a narrow side plane. Keep their upper edges aligned.

  2. Set the neck and stopper

    Place a short neck and a rounded stopper above it. Divide the stopper into only a few broad planes.

  3. Add one inner level

    Draw a plain liquid-level curve and small local shadows. Leave the glass face clear.

A small thing to tryKeep the stopper centered on the neck so the bottle feels balanced.
