A way into the drawing

  1. Start with the main forms

    Sketch a long slightly curved handle leading into an oval bowl.

  2. Build the overlaps

    Add an inner oval curve to show the bowl hollow.

  3. Choose the finishing details

    Refine the neck and place a small gray accent inside the bowl.

A small thing to tryLet the handle widen gradually into the bowl rather than attaching it abruptly.
