BAD NEWS!!!

Well, one day last week....Hannah and Nora broke into my room and DESTROYED my drawing. Yes, Pennie...I am so sorry but it is beyond repair, I did try to fix it and Kevin would tell you the same. SO again for the 5th time, I am starting over and I will go as quick as I can to get this to you. I am sorry it has taken me SO long...this whole fur thing is very new to me, ya know? Kay, I will post soon with progress on the new cat.

Some progress

Well, Kevin fell asleep really early last night so I had plenty of time to draw. Any pointers from all my artist friends/family are welcome.

FINALLY, huh?

I know, I know...it has taken me forever to post on this blog, BUT...I will do better, well I am going to try to anyway. Well, I know it doesn't seem like I have made it very far on the cat, BUT this is my 4th drawing of this! When we went on vacation--Kevin's aunt Pennie gave me a great picture and even though she begged me to not start over and just get it done--sorry Pennie, but I HAD TO! My paper was just so 'tired' and I couldn't think of making any more changes on him. This new paper feels much better and I will get it done--don't you worry. I am really trying to capture his expression. He has a very thin face and I am trying to get the direction his eyes are looking as well as they tilt of his head and that has been the difficult part, but I am determined and I will finish it.

Sorry it has been so long since I have posted. I actually have an updated drawing of the cat picture--I started over but did finish one ear. I think I may keep going a bit more and then start over again. I am learning as I go how to do the whole fur thing so it will take a while. I just haven't had much time to sit and draw lately--I usually do it at night when everyone is asleep but I have been so tired. My camera broke but I have another one on the way, it should be here Thursday. I will try to get another picture posted soon, for those that keep checking back for an update.

Attempting an animal

Kevin's aunt sent me a great reference photo of her cat, so I am giving it a try. I just started it last night so it is just a basic sketch and I am sure I will change papers a few times till I can figure out the process that most must use to draw the fur and how to make it look real. Any pointers, let me know.
