Hello all
This is my second graphite pencil sketch I've ever done. Trying to practice up on drawing techniques to help me out with my soft pastel paintings. I was hoping to get a 3d effect with this with the splashes of water in a glass comments and critiquing welcome. Thanks for looking.

I think that you have drawn pretty well for a second drawing. I like the shading at the bottom of the glass especially. You can improve the picture by removing the edge lines in most cases. The glass is also not shaped realistically. You should include highlights to show the curvature of the glass and the drops.
