1. Draw the outline of the cup. A soft leaded pencil (2B) can be used for the outline. You may prefer to use a hard leaded pencil(1H). This is a personal preference. Broad and fine felt pens can also be used. |

2. Add the darker lines by applying more weight. Then broaden the lines with the pencil / felt pen. You may prefer to use a felt pen for the dark broad lines. |

4. Add further hatching, but this time short lines are drawn. They reinforce the ‘lip’ of the cup. They are drawn all the way along the rim of the cup. |
