For our work in class for Week 2 we made a milkshake cup with a straw. This was a little bit of a challenge but I was still much more confident than I had been the week before which showed my improvement to myself. I do wish I had taken more photographs documenting my journey but I do at least have the final image.

I was following a lecture tutorial but I tried to make my own little adjustments to the piece to give it a little originality. I changed the colour or the milkshake and the opacity of the glass, as well as creating more dimensions on the lid of the cup to give more texture.

Originally I struggled with getting the shape correct, and then extruding the faces. Once I retried the steps I was able to complete it correctly which was good. The straw was also a little bit difficult as I have never used the tools before, including the sweep mesh. It was a little difficult to grasp at first, but eventually I was happy with the outcome. Finally, I used the multi-cut tool to create more divisions in the straw, which I extruded to make the ruffles on the straw.

Overall, I was very happy with the outcome of the milkshake glass. It took me a little longer than I would have liked but this will improve over time, the more practice I have.
