From the renderings, it seems that the clay pot has many light-receiving surfaces. For a moment it seemed like there was no way to start. But if you look carefully, you can find it. In fact, the clay pot is composed of two large parts, the mouth and the main part. Once the idea is clear, production is very simple.

1. Create a new file of 600 * 600 pixels, and temporarily fill the background with white. Create a new layer named "Body Outline", use the pen tool to outline the outline of the pot, convert it to a selection as shown in Figure 1, and then fill it with black. The effect is as shown in Figure 2.
2. Duplicate the layer you just worked on, outline the top part with a pen and press Delete to delete it. You will get the selection part shown in the picture below.
