Got the yen to try coloured pencils again, so spent a bit of time looking for subject matter, eventually came on some pics I took of the rulers of our household…..our two cats.
This is the one we call Tabby, I know …she’s not a Tabby. Don’t ask!
.
Have a long way to go yet, but I think it’s going the right way, she’s looking a bit cross in the painting, so will have to find a way of softening the look. Will post again when a bit further on.
Your cat portrait is lovely. You are very adept with colored pencils and she looks like a real sweetheart.
ReplyDeleteGreat start. Looking forward to the end result.
ReplyDeleteWow Phil, I didn't even think that colored pencils would have such an effect. I am learning so much. I just love her little heart-shaped nose.
ReplyDeleteLooking good - I love the way the eyes are shaping up.
ReplyDeleteLoving it already. This one's got beautiful eyes and you've portrayed that vividly as well ^^
ReplyDeleteLooks good so far!
ReplyDeleteA sweet cat with lovely eyes, should be a lovely piece of work.
ReplyDeleteWonderful start! It will be so beautiful. nancy
ReplyDeleteLOVE the cats pictures in colored pencil! so impressing and so inspirational! makes me want to pet them!
ReplyDeleteI really like what you are doing. I too have a few of these household rulers. One is a Maine Coon cat called Daisy Mae and the other a Calico called Honey. I need to do more drawings of them after seeing yours.
