   ඔයාගේ ඇස් මට්ටම තීරණය කරලා ඒක සලකුණු කරන්න.

   Everything about the ellipses follows from this. If the mug is below your eye level you will see into it; if it is level you will not. Make the decision consciously now rather than letting it drift halfway through the drawing.

   බලාගෙන Not deciding, then drawing a rim that contradicts the base.

   පරීක්ෂා කරන්න You should be able to say whether you are looking down into this mug or across at it.

   එක දිගු රේඛාවක් ලෙස රිම් එක අඳින්න, එකම වේගවත් චලනයකින්.

   Go round three or four times without stopping and keep the best pass. Speed is what makes an ellipse smooth - drawn slowly it comes out lumpy on one side every single time, because your hand cannot hold a curve at low speed.

   බලාගෙන Building it out of short careful arcs.

   පරීක්ෂා කරන්න It should be symmetrical about its own long axis.

   දෙපස කෙලින්ම පහළට ඇදගන්න, සුළු වශයෙන් තුනී.

   Start exactly at the ends of the ellipse's long axis. A slight taper inward looks more natural than perfectly parallel sides, and it is what most real mugs do.

   බලාගෙන Starting the sides inside or outside the rim, which leaves a visible step.

   පරීක්ෂා කරන්න Each side should begin exactly at the widest point of the rim.

   ඉහළට වඩා සුළු වශයෙන් වටකුරු ඉලිප්සාකාර පහළ වසා දමන්න.

   The base is further from your eye level than the rim, so it is rounder. Same width, more curve. Getting this relationship right is the difference between a mug that sits on the table and one that appears to be sliding off it.

   බලාගෙන Drawing the base flatter than the rim, or as a straight line.

   පරීක්ෂා කරන්න Rounder than the rim, and exactly the same width.

   දෙවන වක්‍රය පමණක් අගල් ඇතුළත එකතු කරන්න.

   This thin band is the thickness of the ceramic, and it is what makes the top read as an opening rather than a painted disc. One stroke, following the rim's curve.

   බලාගෙන Drawing it parallel all the way round instead of following the ellipse.

   පරීක්ෂා කරන්න There should be a visible band between the two curves at the front.

   හසුරුව පිටත වක්‍රය අඳින්න.

   Start just below the rim and end about two-thirds of the way down the side. Both ends must touch the mug - a handle that floats beside the body is the most common error here and it is instantly visible.

   බලාගෙන Leaving a gap where the handle meets the mug.

   පරීක්ෂා කරන්න Both ends of the curve should touch the side of the mug.

   දෙවන වෘත්තාකාර ඇතුලත සමග හසුරුව ඝනකම දෙන්න.

   A handle is a strap, not a wire. The inner curve runs parallel to the outer one and meets the mug slightly closer in at both ends. This is a small change that makes a large difference to how solid the mug looks.

   බලාගෙන Drawing the handle as a single line.

   පරීක්ෂා කරන්න There should be a visible gap between the two handle curves.

   ආලෝකය එන තැන ලකුණු කරන්න.

   Pick a side and commit. A cylinder shades differently from a sphere - the darkest band sits just inside the edge on the shadow side, not at the very edge, because light bounces back up off the table onto the rim.

   බලාගෙන Shading the very edge darkest, which makes the mug look flat.

   පරීක්ෂා කරන්න You should be able to say which side is lit.

   ආලෝකයෙන් ඈත් වී කුසලාන පැත්තේ සෙවණැලි.

   Work in one direction rather than scrubbing back and forth. Scrubbing gives an even grey, which is exactly the thing that makes a drawing look flat, so lay the strokes the same way and build the darkness in passes.

   බලාගෙන Being too timid. Beginners routinely stop two or three steps short of dark enough.

   පරීක්ෂා කරන්න The dark side should be clearly darker than the mid tone, not slightly.

    සෙවණැලි-පැත්තේ අගල් හරියටම දීප්තිමත් තීරු එකතු කරන්න.

    Light bouncing off the table catches the very edge of a cylinder, so the darkest band sits slightly INSIDE the outline. Leaving that thin lighter strip is what makes the mug read as round rather than as a shaded rectangle.

    බලාගෙන Running the shading right up to the outline.

    පරීක්ෂා කරන්න There should be a thin lighter line between your shading and the edge.

    පහළ මතුපිට සෙවනැල්ල එකතු කරන්න.

    The cast shadow is darkest where it touches the mug and softens as it moves away. It also anchors the object to a surface - without it the mug floats, however well you have shaded it.

    බලාගෙන Drawing it as an even grey blob detached from the object.

    පරීක්ෂා කරන්න It should touch the object and be darkest at that contact point.

    ඔයාට තියාගන්න ඕනේ රේඛා වලට යන්න, සහ මඟ පෙන්වීම් නැති කරන්න.

    This is the step that turns a construction drawing into a finished one, and it is the one most people skip. Press harder on the outline and the features; leave the small stuff light. That difference in weight is what makes a drawing look deliberate rather than traced, and it costs thirty seconds.

    බලාගෙන Going over everything at the same weight, which flattens the drawing back out.

    පරීක්ෂා කරන්න The outline should be clearly darker than the smallest details.
