Description
This is drawn on a3 paper and colored with markers and color pencils. Still not sure if I want the background to be all white like that or not, gonna be hard to colour all that smooth with a marker too so will probably leave it like this and call it done
It looks better irl as it often does with tradtitional media!
I'll try to do similar portraits of the rest of my pets, 2 cats ,1 dog and 2 rabbits to go then!
Nusse didn't like her portrait [link]

Wonderful! Somehow it seems very appropriate to do a cat this way, they can be so elegant. One of my 5 kitties, named Kobe, does "Le Chat Noire" nearly perfectly.

Nice. I really love the color choices here -- they're most complementary to the piece. Good work!

Love the reaction on Nusse XD
Though the result doesn't deserve such reaction! You did an amazing job colouring it!

I think the colours go together very well and I'm impressed with the line weight which really helps the image 'pop'. Not to mention that the detailed texture on the cat helps it stand out against the background. Simply gorgeous!
PS - Nusse should feel ashamed for not appreciating this!

Awe, Nusse is an art critique! Ignore her, she's being vain.
You nailed the style spot on, and the colors are fantastic!

Oh man this is so awesome! Do you think you'd ever do commissions for this sort of stuff?

Thanks!
I would love to but they would be pretty pricey as it takes a lot of work and a big chunk of my color pencils

Would it be any cheaper to do them as just a straight through digital piece?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah for sure! Would save time and art supplies, and ofcourse no shipping cost! Not sure I could copy the style 100% digitally though, like it wont look like color pencils, but hopefully still look nice

Most digital nouveau stuff I see is just flat colored with gradients or has some cell shading and it looks gorgeous! If you figure out a price, let me know! I'd def be interested in the future
