Sloth Sleeping on a Thick Branch

Nothing on this sheet is awake. The sloth lies draped along a thick horizontal branch with its head resting flat on the bark, eyes closed into two curved lines, and its limbs hanging loose down both sides. The body is one long smooth shape with barely any interior detail, just a soft curve separating the back from the belly, so it takes a flat tone or a gentle gradient without any fuss. A fringe of spiky fur rings the face and softens the profile. The branch runs the full width of the page and meets a tree trunk at the right, and a leafy twig with paired oval leaves rises from it at the upper left. Down in the bottom corners sit two more sprigs of foliage, each with five or six leaves on a slim stem. Those are the only small shapes on an otherwise generous page. With this much open space the sheet suits a child who is still learning to stay inside a line, and it also makes a calm evening page for anyone who wants something undemanding.
