What would be the most reasonable  way to do that. height 12 cm.

RE: draft question? cannot make this sink ready!

Extrude a rectangular block with drafted sides
Cut away the base to create the sloped bottom
Shell from the top
Add flange at top
Add boss and hole for drain

Thanks CorBlimeyLimey! dont quite understand your steps.  how do you cut away the base? which feature is that!  

RE: draft question? cannot make this sink ready!

As with most things in SW, there are different ways to create features;
Using regular Cut-Extrudes based from the reference or created planes.
Using created planes or surfaces and the [b]Cut with Surface[b] tool.
The whole sink could be created with surfaces and then thickened.

How long have you used SW?
Working through the SolidWorks Tutorials in the Help section will teach the basics of creating models.
