There were a few items I think I went a little haywire with, such as the ellipse on the bottom of the cup which was too shallow. I altered it slightly when copying onto the second drawing. I didn’t find the acetate grids very useful, even though I made a mount for each of them. I think it didn’t help that the mounts I made for around the borders were too wide, so it was easier to measure by drawing a grid of squares onto the paper. Although the small grid was useful as a viewfinder.
In the second exercise I had more confidence doing the initial drawings and the grids helped here in obtaining the general placement of the objects within the picture frame.
All of the objects were easier to place and copy, with the help of gridlines on the paper. It was then a fairly simple procedure to scale up to the larger image in both exercises. I drew the lines of the jug handle in the wrong place but I didn’t erase, instead I drew around it, which felt slightly liberating. Of course when using this method normally, it would be easier to erase the gridlines afterwards if they are drawn in lighter.
