Description For ~Animal-Angels . She wanted me to draw her kitty Shadow and suggested I use this reference: [link]

I spent ages on the fur, doing several layers and drawing in loads of individual hairs. Unfortunately, for the cream part, I couldn't get the scanner to show it. I re-scanned it several times with different settings but I just can't get it to show It's coming up looking like scribbles! It doesn't look like that in the original

Originally I wasn't going to do a background, then I decided that I don't do enough backgrounds and I should add one in!

I love Siamese, I have one, She had three cute Kittens, She was abandon by her owners, and we found her and took her in, But a few days later, She had her kittens, our three tom cats helped her take care of them, Of course, My 6 year old black cat didn't like the kittens bugging him, but he soon warmed up to them and I found them all sitting out on the front deck. They were one big happy family. Awesome Drawing By the way! I love the coloring.

It doesn't look like scribbles on the fur at all! The little cat looks very well drawn and colored, I dont see what you're worried about (because it looks amazing!)

A friend of mine has a cat like that too, her cat's name is "Lorenzo"

Aww thank you. I was genuinely worried about the cream part but a couple of people have said it looks really good so maybe I was hyper-focussing on the flaws

Thanks very much for your lovely comment

Another lovely animal portrait done by the ever talented Itti! I just love how peaceful this is. I can imagine coming home and seeing my own cat curled up like this on my bed. It's a common thing but very comforting at the same time. Shadow looks so content snuggled up like that. I think my favorite thing about his pose is that little foot sticking out the way it does. So adorable!

You really are getting very good at using color pencils! I can tell you put lots of care and practice into your coloring and it really is looking fantastic! I love the detail in the fur. It looks good from my end, so I can only imagine how lovely it looks in person! I definitely know how frustrating it can be to have put in a lot of effort and then the scanner washes it out, but never fear! It still looks lovely!

I also like how simple the background is. It gives the picture the perfect finishing touch while still allowing Shadow to be the main focus of the picture.

I agree, the foot is very cute! Aww Azzie, thank you so much for this lovely comment. I kept it in my message centre for ages so I could come back to it and now it looks like I didn't appreciate your comment because it was just sitting there being unreplied to Thanks so much for your lovely words, I always treasure your comments
