Today I decided to sketch this strange wobbly vase that I made about 20 years ago. It has lots of chips from it's travels around the world and is partly held together with blue-tac but I still love it. I paired it with this shiny blue vase. Both objects were very challenging to draw. See below for the stages the drawing went through.
1) A blind contour drawing to get to know the objects really well.
2) A line drawing. First in graphite and then traced with pen.
3) Shading with B pencils
4) The tracing was then overlaid on the shaded drawing.
Love that vase you made! I’ve been wanting to draw lately. Ink.
