Hatching the Pot

1. Lines are enormously useful in describing all kinds of bulging, rolling, bumpy subjects.
2. Since the light is coming from the right and slightly in front of the pot, the shadow on the outside of the pot falls on the left, but the shadow on the inside of the pot is on the right.
3. Curved lines help us feel out the pot’s roundness and because the subtlety of making those lines is a way for us to engage the sensuousness of our reflexes.
