Wine Bottle Life is a little like a message in a bottle, to be carried by the winds and the tides. This picture is a 100 stroke drawing of a wine bottle using Adobe Illustrator on a Bamboo tablet. I began with vertical lines from the very top of the mouth of the bottle leading down the the bottom of the bottle and spread out until I reached the edges. Next I tightened up the edges by using more curved lines and then using horizontal lines that were slightly curved to give it the “bottle look”. Finally I used a few lines to draw the cork at the mouth of the bottle and continued to fill in more of the empty spaces with the remaining line strokes. 4 - Wilderness Wilderness - 5
