My Coffee Mug

Lilium

So this morning after my coffee I made my mug, it's my 1st time replicating an object and 2nd time trying Painter! I'm quite the beginner so any tips are welcome! 

I also have a little Issue Here with Painter if anyone wants to help a bit more!

Real :

You've missed the complex shapes the handle makes, and right now on the 3D model it's just basically an adjusted half cylindrical tube.  

You have an opportunity here to really stretch yourself and take the time to make that handle 1 to 1 to your actual mug and give the model more visual interest.  You've got the primitives down, but you have a little more to accomplish here.

I know what you mean, I had the same thought too when I finished the painting job! I should have used the picture as a template!  
So here, I've tried to redo the mesh a bit but when re-importing with Painter, my textures are all weird and my `"Bake Texture" is failing. I'll probably have to redo the painting. 

PS : Is there a way of resizing image inside the chatbox?

The silhouette is still not matching.  Exaggerate the form.  Push it farther than you think it needs to go.  Easier to pull something back than to inch forward towards a look.

So I've been thinking about what you said all day, and then I made that! 
What do you think? (There's a strange glitch with the coffee's edges)

Definitely looks more accurate.  Good job.
