That he is. He seemed to like have a picture taken. Cats are fascinating...

Oh, my goodness, that is the greatest name ever. Haha, seriously, I love it.
Anyway, on to the art. This one is definitely a must for full-view. I love the complexity and attention to lines. It makes for such texture. Beautiful cat, by the way. You've done him justice, I'm sure. (:

Thanks, c. So glad you took a closer look at it. Pen & ink is an amazing medium for getting texture. You've done some?

You're welcome! I always have to fullview. I love seeing the strokes and how it was done. I did some pen and ink a few years ago in high school, but I was never very good with it, I thought.

you could put your less polished work in your scrapsfolder. I enjoy seeing other people's sketchbook stuff, old schoolwork.

I'll keep that in mind. (: I love seeing your old schoolwork - I haven't seen a medium you can't do yet!
I actually lost all my schoolwork during a hectic move, but I do have some older work I never got around to posting so I might consider it now. Right now I'm just focused on posting my newest, though - I can't seem to get a half-decent picture of it at all (graphite leaves awful glares)! It's too big to scan at Staples, so I might call around this week to see if any places have a big enough scanner. x]

Soooooo precious! (I love kitties)-note that I avoided the OBVIOUS joke. Did I know you could illustrate this well when we were in school? Or at Kinko's?

Thanks, M. (yes, you did avoid the obvious joke, lol.) I think you might have known? I don't know. We mostly concentrated on logos and layouts, less on free-style drawing.

Great! I like the crosshatch style. It adds some texture variety.

Thank you very much for the comment & the fave.

Very nice.
Don't worry so much about minor quirks like the eyes not being exactly the same size. They rarely are in real life, we usually just don't notice!

That's very true! Glad you like it.

He sure looks very cute. Your work is brilliant so very detailed. He stands really out of the paper.

Thanks, N., aka, "Bones", lol. I took my time, but didn't get it totally correct with the porportions of eye and ear. I like it anyway. :0)

I don't remember how long it took since it was back in '94, but I did do a light pencil drawing first, then used the dip pen over that. The pen was quick. I went back with a very fine dip pen and made thin marks in the fur. That's it. Oh dear, I have to go to bed! Got to get up in the morning. Have a great day!
