Work in progress

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.

Tabby2

This is the one we call Tabby, I know …she’s not a Tabby. Don’t ask!

.Tabby

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.

  3. Wow 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.

  9. I 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.
