No photo reference, and I am aware that there are some incorrect anatomical details, particularly with the ears.

There may be an atomical mistake in the face shape, but that honestly depends on the breed. As a (for example) Siamese cat usually has a longer muzzle and the height from the top of the head to the nose tip is not as great as the 'height' of the front of the muzzle itself. The muzzle would be a bit thinner as well. Though if this is something in the direction of, example, a BengalΒ cat or another short-haired breed with a muzzle like it, then it is correct.
There are many cat breeds, and therefore it can be hard to point out an atomical mistake unless you know the specificΒ breed. As many have different builds of the body, along with the shape of tail and face.

Either way, this is a very nice work. You got the fur texture perfectly, which can be hard in many cases.

Very nicely done - beautiful work, particularly in this medium. I feel terribly out of place with a pencil in my hand.

Thanks for the encouragement. I've been drawing from refs mostly out of laziness, and somewhat due to how long it has been since I spent time drawing cats. Anytime I pick up a subject, it's easiest for me to start with references, and after a few pieces I can start drawing it however I want from my head.

They are fairly minor, or I would have noticed them myself before I finished. However, I know there are people among my watchers that will notice those details. Specifically, there are some folds of skin on the outer edge of the ear close to the skull, which I left out entirely. Not a big deal, but still an anatomical irregularity.

Thanks so much for the .
