Pancakes study

Practice drawing pancakes with clear contours and a few selected details. Overlap the front edges and place a small butter pat on top. Add one syrup drape and small gray shadows between the layers.

A way into the drawing

1. Start with the main forms

   Draw three flattened ovals stacked with slightly uneven edges.

2. Build the overlaps

   Overlap the front edges and place a small butter pat on top.

3. Choose the finishing details

   Add one syrup drape and small gray shadows between the layers.

A small thing to tryVary the pancake edges a little while keeping the stack balanced.
