That first cup always tastes the best...
... and it tastes even better when it is in that 'special' cup. I know I have a favorite, and so do a few of you!
DH's favorite is this mug created by his daughter for him in her pottery class. I want to commend DH for the care and attention he paid to understanding the perspective and ovals when drawing this cup. This particular mug looks simple, but is quite difficult to get right. You can see how exacting he was in his plan drawing:

Once he had created the most exact shape he could, DH then concentrated on adding appropriate tone, and finally some of the surface detail. His addition of a personal note on the cup make this a delightful study. Well done DH!

JH also has a favorite mug, something that reminds her of happy memories of skiing in this beautiful resort. She admits her drawing is 'somewhat wonky', but also resisted the temptation to erase. And no rubbing out was one of the instructions, and that is difficult to adhere to! Yes, perhaps the mug has a bit of a lean to it, and the ovals are a little flattened out, but this is an honest attempt and a good drawing. The attention to tone, especially in the handle is quite good. Another well done to you JH.

If you don't have a favorite cup, them maybe you have a favorite coffee shop! And this is what EM has drawn, a take away coffee cup from her local barista. So many ovals in this one EM! I can see you had a bit of trouble with the right hand side curve of the ovals. But your attention to detail is great, you have observed all the various ridges and indentations in the cap, even including the air hole piercing and the barista's drawn heart. I also like the recycle logo on the side of the cup as well as the prose you have added. I hope you show this to your barista - he/she will love it right back.
