After drawing in the African Gallery of British Museum in the morning, I spent last Tuesday afternoon drawing pots at the Petrie Museum as I have many times before! I still get overwhelmed by the amount of objects stuffed into the cases and deciding what to draw always takes a while. In the end it came down to sitting at a convenient table with a chair and drawing what was in front of me !
UPDATE : As Margaret Cooter notes in her blogpost on our visit, such delicate drawings are difficult to photograph well, the marks get lost on the page. I scanned in the drawing, , increased contrast in Photoshop and printed out a copy , drawing round the shapes with a large Pitt marker in sanguine.
