What should be decided first when sketching a bottle with a narrow neck and broad base?
The governing concept is proportion: the relative sizes of parts must be established before details are added. For this bottle, compare the neck width, shoulder transition, body width, and total height with one another. Setting these relationships first keeps the form believable and prevents later details from distorting it. Thus option C is correct; colour price, paper brand, and title do not determine the bottle’s structure.
