Yesterday I had a
eureka moment. A while back a lady asked me to do some Cats in hats to match some dogs I did, and tried to do some cats on a Sunday, but alas they did not come out right :( Then yesterday something happened and it came to me what I was doing wrong. It was the approach, the feel, the something. Cats are different from dogs, dogs are happy, friendly, what you see is what you get, but cats..... Well cat lovers will argue with me but it worked for me. I began to think of cats as royal, elegant, haughty, mysterious, their own master and wha-laa I was able to do at least 4 sketches with them in hats.
Today I decided to try my cat luck again and did the sketch for IF's Lesson for Sunday Sketches. So pop on by
Sophia's Sunday Sketches and see some fab art.
Cheers
p.s you want to know what the lesson is .... ahh you will have to pop on by later for the colour version .... maybe I will be able to make it with lots of purple and enter it in Mr. Toast's creative Tuesday :)

Oh yeah that's right. Cats are so their own masters... we exist to serve!
I'm so glad you found your eureka moment - it definitely worked!

cute cat, love that it was coneived in a eureka moment
I love your cat sketch. You are so right, you will get no argument from me. Every descriptive word you assign to cats are totally on the mark! :-)
This is adorable and I will pop back to see it in color.
PS - On my doll I am using a 000 or a 0/2 brush for the details I also have a very thin liner brush that I use for some of it.
Great job - you are right about your theory - I cannot draw a cat to save my soul...I shall try again with your viewpoint.
cheers, dana
...Oh dear I do hope the bird makes it out alive!

So true. The nature of cats...
Happy May!
