Description I like to call this "The 4-Hour Sketch".  During the Christmas season, traffic near where I live got really bad, and on the way to a party, I was stuck in traffic for almost 4 hours.  Since I had my drawing materials with me, and the traffic was moving at a rate of one foot every 15-20 minutes (based on the number of tracks that played on my iPod before I had to move, natch), there was quite a lot of time to doodle, hence all the detail.


Dug this out and worked on it a bit more today, and decided to upload it.  Still playing with my proportions; really enjoying drawing hands and feet right now!

The head, torso and raised leg are truly excellent.  It's a beautiful and peaceful image of Ivy, something you don't often see. 

However the other leg seems to drop through the plane which she is lying on making the image a little incongruous.  Perhaps a little more background around that area might correct the perception?

Will definitely keep that in mind, if I find the time to flesh this out some more.  Thanks for the feedback!
