For this work, I used a pencil on paper and drew short lines. I used multiple
strokes of my hand to create many lines to form a teapot. Each drawing is
composed of almost exactly one hundred lines. I positioned a teapot near a
lamp to cast shadows and drew the teapot to the best of my abilities with a
limit of one hundred lines.
