Pencil-and-watercolor reference of a grey tabby kitten asleep inside a floral teacup on a matching saucer
beginner20 mingraphitereference visible

20-minute shape design study of sleeping cat in a teacup using graphite pencil.

Why it fits: Sleeping Cat in a Teacup is a beginner reference. The subject-specific practice focus is to fit the kitten's curled head and paws convincingly inside the cup ellipse while preserving the tabby face. That makes it a useful fit for shape design within a 20-minute session.

  1. 1Warm up for 2 minutes: Reduce the subject to three large shapes before adding detail.
  2. 2Keep the reference visible and compare negative spaces at the halfway point.
  3. 3No extra constraint—prioritize a clear, finished study.
  4. 4Finish by checking the silhouette, the largest proportion, and the focal edge. Record one adjustment for the next attempt.
