Started at the bottom of a mug and tried not to lift the pen. Somehow the handle is taller than the mug. I can still tell what it is, so I'm leaving the ridiculous handle alone.
The handle went a bit wrong

The invitation
Draw a mug without lifting the pen. The handle might end up bigger than the whole thing. Keep going anyway, then show the drawing. Other objects welcome; neatness isn't the point here.
First step
Put a familiar object in front of you and draw it with one unbroken line.
- Put a familiar object in front of you and draw it with one unbroken line.
- Keep going through the awkward bits instead of starting over.
- Show the drawing, or describe where the line went off course and what it became.

Drew a mug with my other hand after seeing your loop. Mine leans so far left it looks like it's listening at a door. The handle is wobbly, but I quite like it.

How did you get from the rim to the handle without doubling back?
Priya Shah
I did double back, down one side. That extra line is probably why the mug looks so lopsided.
