Daily Sketch: Top of the World

Mimi again enjoys the warmth of the sun on her one side, this time on top of the wardobe at the top of the stairs, her new favorite spot.
This is another one of those complicated sketches that I did quickly, then filled in later, though Mimi spent quite a bit of time up there..
This has both deep shadows and bright highlights, and both direct and reflected light, a challenge for me in ink, for sure! But while Mimi did move her head to face front, look up at me and look behind herself, she sat for long enough for me to get the light and shadow on her torso sketched in with pen, then a bit of watercolor pencil scribbled on top.

i really like this! It’s so colorful!
It turned out a lot more colorful than I had intended, but I got used to it by morning–I really wanted it in sepias with a few extra colors thrown in! Thanks!
