Mister Cat

[Scentless Apprentice]

Really enjoyed this one, I guestimate that it took around 10hrs over a couple of nights. All 6B, 2B and HB on carbon paper. Critique much appreciated

Really good! Nice details and contrast looks like an old polaroid

Cant really critique it my friend as ive sat here for 20 minutes smiling at it:) And that is what great art should do . Lovely lovely picture! ....background is were all the work is it really pushes the cat forward. Also will put money on it that in reality the drawing is far far superior (always we lose in "translation!")

Sent from the edge of reason on my SG2

Cheers guys! And thanks so much Casey, means a lot coming from the resident portrait mantis haha. Yeah It was really hard to get a decent shot of, didn't help that I had flattened the paper in most of the dark area trying to get the value I wanted. Looks like 6b isn't cutting it, might have to try some pastels
