This is a glass coffee/slash tea cup with a glass basin and plastic holder. I don't know how old they are but we've had some at my camp for years. I love the design and when saw some at good will I grabbed a couple to have.
I used a photoshop for realism. I played around with multiple photos of the subject in the same position to add detail to the picture. Some of the shots had milk in the glass others where empty and I tried to merge those to increase detail.
I used my window as light table to tracing to compensate for my lack of drawing skills.
This is my texture drawing. It needs to be rotated. I liked creating texture with different media.
I used graph paper for my rectilinear. I was going to trace for transfer to drawing paper but found I like the graph background. I found I really liked the hexagonal pattern that emerged at the top.
The shape was already fairly biomorphic so I tried to just accentuate those feature that where.In this one the base seemed more important then the glass like it was trying to show me something.
The for the negative exploration I created the background and drew the glass with the eraser.
I instead of abstracting just biomorphic or retilinier I took features that struck me about both and also went back to look at the original object. The cup it's self actually seems to have alot of height in real life. A characteristic lost in all my other pieces even the photo so I tried to accentuate slimness in this piece.
