Sketchbook – In which I venture into my backyard…

Or rather, my cats do. Normally my two roly poly felines do not venture outdoors, but I took them out for a bit a grass-eating and investigating for a very selfish reason. I wanted to draw them.

Brush & ink - top 3 are of Belladonna and the bottom profile is Phooka.

I don’t draw my cats a lot, as they are both black (or mainly black) and can be a bit hard to see. Especially since they’re normally on the black area rug, and yes, they get tripped on at night a lot. So details are out, but the late afternoon sunlight was perfect for some outline and gesture drawings.

 

Yes, I'm aware my cats are fat.

I also wanted to remind everyone of the upcoming Artcrank event this weekend, at which I will have a poster for sale. Info is here. And, if you’re looking for a more convenient way to keep up with me, I wanted to offer my Tumblr, Blogger and regular blog links, just in case. The same info is posted across all of them, (except for the Tumblr & Twitter, which sometimes gets the stuff that doesn’t deserve a full blog post, like my love of useless machines & various video games).

Phooka does not find you interesting

That confused look is pretty constant.

Hope to see everyone this weekend!
