Drawing this small flask turned out to be very hard. Not only is it glass with all its fun distorted reflections. It’s also strictly symmetrical and when seen from the side it exhibits a lot of similar ovals, which is definitely the hardest basic form to draw in a consistent way for me.
When I grabbed the flask in the kitchen cupboard I thought “This will be a fun little exercise”, but gee! It took a lot of determination to work with the proportions and getting the many ovals somewhat right. After that came the work with the fine details and the reflections too. This took at least an hour longer than I anticipated. But I think I got my sense of proportions and basic shapes exercised, and that was the point, so it was after all a useful exercise.
