Description I thought it was about time to get a coloured drawing uploaded. I kinda consider it as a tester piece. I loved working on dark paper with pencils and I want to do it again with a completely different subject (and bigger maybe). I used a reference from own photos though it's not my cat.

For a very short video (approx 10 secs) of my progress with this drawing please click below:

WIP video

I hope it may be of interest.

Used: Derwent Studio pencils on Murano pastel paper
Original Size: 22.8 cm x 30.4 cm

Omfg, You can hardly tell that it's a drawing, At first i was so convincing to myself "That is NOT a drawing, No way is that a drawing, It can't be." And then i REALLLYYY tried and looked at it UBER hard, And then i noticed it wasn't a photo, But my point is, I seriously was about to knock myself out because i TOTALLY thought it was a photo. OH MY FRIGIN' GOSH, This is the most amazing cat attempt i have EVER seen here on DeviantART, And I've went through practically all cat drawings, And so far, This is the most realistic one I've seen yet.

Well, thanks for the great compliment. I appreciate it and try my best to capture as much of a likeness as I can freehand. Hope I can amaze you again. Thanks for the watch.

Oh good. I think with pencil drawings, sometimes it's nice to still be able to see the work within it. So I agree. Thank you for taking the time to comment and for the lovely words.
