    Decided to try learning Inkscape at one in the morning...

    I had intended for it to look like this, but I couldn’t for the life of me figure out how to easily remove the segment at the top of the bottom oval. Here I’ve done it by hand with a white pen tool.

    I wonder if there is a way that it can be made more clear that the cup is full rather than empty? The black color alone might be hard to determine whether empty or full (?)

    I was thinking the same thing. Copilot AI suggests something like the attached image - the wavy line makes it clearer that liquid is inside, but it also makes it seem like the cup is not completely full. Thus, I settled on the design I put together in Inkscape. I feel it’s somewhat that it’s full of liquid - as opposed to the oval being white showing emptiness - but I definitely echo your concern and I’m open to any ideas.
