Alas this title is not full accurate. It should be sharing cats on Sunday :) as I drew these fellows on Friday, and would any of the groups have a topic Cats ..
nooooo! Just kidding. A while back I did some pics/clipart for embroidery digitizing called Hats with Dogs and a lady who is a fantastic embroiderer and digitizer requested some cats in hats- easy - nope. So after look at google pics and attempting to draw the furry creatures I decided to buy a "how to draw cats". I bought this .
This is actually quite a good book - he draws many breeds (which is what I need) and various positions. The only problem I have is that he does not seem to give a formula for the face. As you can see in my sketch of a Himalayan Blue point it looks rather like a dog - I think the problem is the eyes and maybe the nose :(
So in fustration I drew the little cartoon fella. Ahhh now he needs a name - Rex?? :)
As today is Sunday pop over to
Sophia's Sunday Sketches to see some super artists' work.
Hope all have a great Sunday.
Cheers
p.s. There are two new art groups which I have yet to attend but desire to. On Friday the newbie is
Paint Party Friday and on Saturday it is
Saturday Sweets. So cool. So mark you calenders ladies and gents :).

Well it sure looks like you are picking up the feline style quickly! They are great!
oh these are perfect Jehanne!!! lovely sketches!!! Thank you so much for joining in on Sweet Saturdays....can't wait to see what you share with all of us!!!!
Have a wonderful weekend!!!
Love the little kitty cat sketch that you did there. Very cute indeed. Here's mine http://thelunaticsdiary.blogspot.com/2011/04/imp.html
Himalayan Blue point - this head looks long, as in the measurement from nose to ear. This may be what's giving it the doggy look.
that gives me an idea. I will look up the skulls of cats vs dogs and see. thanks
Good Morning. Your "Rex", good name by the way, is adorable! Your Himalayan is beautiful.
I actually quite like your Himalayan Blue Point and I looove the expressions on the whimsical cats!
It will be fun to see your cats in hats :)

Oh, I like the cats! I like the big fluffy one!!!! They are fun to draw, yours look really good! I have seen this book.
The embroidery idea sounds fun! Have a great Sunday! xo
very cute cats, interesting that you went out and bought a book about it.
Love the cat sketches!
These are fantastic! I don't think the face looks like a dog at all and your cartoon cats are adorable!
Very well done. Thanks for sharing the links. I have done PPF but have not heard of Sweet Saturdays. Off to check it out.
Looks like a good book and you're making grand progress on your kitties :)
I'm not a cat person but that Rex of yours looks pretty charming.
Your cats are pefectly sweet and adorable, I see no dogginess, love 'em!
I think you did a great job! The Himalayan is SO himalayan! And the others are very fun.
It does look like an interesting book.

I love your cat sketches! especially the ones you had fun with, and turned into cartoons. You did a great job with the expressions..I think our cat is a himalayan blue point, and one of these days I need to draw her, but the faces are so hard to do.
Thank you all for your comments, they made my day :D
HiSophie, yup I did the blogger background myself :)
ahh I do buy art books - tons of them ..sometimes. I find they are good for reference.
