EDM Challenge #4

Draw your mug or cup. This cup arrived one Christmas full of See's candy. It's still one of those mugs with a cozy feel. It works for coffee, but is also nice for Chai or Yerba Mate. I still think rims - of cups, cans, wine glasses, tubs, etc. are one of the hardest things. The thinner the wall is, the harder to draw. I've read some things about it being an elliptical shape, and how the back half is a different shape than the front due to foreshortening, etc. But for me it's more a feeling that I still haven't gotten it yet. Part of the problem is the shadow that goes down inside the cup being convincing. Of course that means just draw more rims.
