Foreshortened Alice
Posted: March 31, 2023 Filed under: Uncategorized 10 CommentsAlice melted into the bed after a 5K walk. She’s not usually allowed on furniture but there is one bed that she loves, so we make an exception. Her pose was not an easy one to draw. I was sitting on a chair nearby but because the mattress on this bed is a little old and a little soft, Alice just became a series of foreshortened curves. Luckily after that long walk, she didn’t move much so I was able to draw for a long time. Sketched in a Hahnemuhle cotton sketchbook, A4 size, with a Bic pen.

Love the play of light and darks here that convey the complex forms and folds so well!

Alice looks like she’s really snuggling into the bedding. Nice!! Let’s not wake her.

What a lovely drawing. I love how the curves in the bedding are matched by her curls, including her tail.
