Pencil sketch of a man holding a book, looking at a woman resting on his lap in an armchair.

draw a basic, pencil line sketches of a couple based on the following requirements. Setting: a deep, plush armchair angled slightly toward the viewer’s left. the woman: • she’s sitting sideways across a man's lap — her hips on his thighs, knees pointing toward the viewer’s right. • her legs drape lazily over the right armrest of the chair. • her back arches slightly as she leans back, the crown of her head resting on or just near the opposite armrest. • because her head is tilted backward, her face isn’t visible, only the curve of her neck and jawline in soft light. the man: • sitting normally in the chair, facing forward but turned slightly toward her. • one hand holds a half-closed book near his lap, visible to the viewer. • his head tilts toward her — so from this ¾ angle, you see about half his face: gentle expression, maybe a raised brow, that soft “hmm?” captured mid-breath. • his other hand rests protectively on her thigh or hip, steadying her, thumb curled gently as if to keep her balanced. ⸻ 🎥 Camera angle suggestion • Use a slightly high ¾ front view, from the front-left of the chair. • This way: • you catch the man's visible half-face and the book in his hand, • the woman's curved posture and outstretched legs form a soft diagonal across the composition, • her face stays hidden by angle and tilt, creating that sense of serene vulnerability. Think of it as if the “camera” is standing about two meters away, a bit to the man's left, angled down slightly toward them. See more
