Having learned to draw a jug, it is not difficult to switch to drawing other kitchen utensils. Vases, glasses, wine glasses, bottles - draw on a similar pattern.

How to draw a pitcher in stages

To begin, let's outline the contour of the jug on a piece of paper. In thin lines, we determine the location and boundaries of the vessel. The figure looks a little angular for now.
Draw the vertical axis of our pitcher. And two horizontal lines, which determine the top of the object and the axis of the widest section.
Draw a circle whose center should be at the intersection of the vertical and bottom horizontal lines - this is the round bottom of the pitcher.
Next, draw a section of the neck of the jug. It seems to us in the form of an ellipse. After all, we represent it in the future. Center of the oval at the intersection of the vertical axis and the upper horizontal line.
We connect the obtained figures with arcs, forming the silhouette of the pitcher. Let's mark the auxiliary circle to form the handle, and give it the final form.
Circle the outline with a smooth line. Do not forget about the handle of the jug. Next, erase the auxiliary lines.
If we are planning to draw a semi-transparent jug with a relief neck, then we will now do it. Select the water level. It is drawn in the form of a horizontal ellipse centered on the axis of the jug.
Floating fruit is visible in our jug. We represent them, protruding from the plane of our ellipse. Plausibility of the pitcher will give glare on the surface. They repeat the shape of the volume of the vessel.
Now it's about hatching. If the light falls from the front, then the brightest places in the center of the figure, in the region of the convex part. We denote the glare. Approaching the edge, we will intensify the pressure of the pencil and show the shadows.

Now, knowing how to draw a jug with a pencil, you can try painting with colors.
