A way into the drawing

  1. Establish the main shapes

    Place the body cylinder and top ellipse.

  2. Connect the structure

    Join the handle and spout firmly to the body.

  3. Develop the drawing

    Refine the clear outer contour, add only the most useful interior details and place a few small local shadows. Leave most of the paper open.

A small thing to tryCheck the spout attachment before refining its end.
