portra

Last night's Wednesday wind-down.

I've been practicing drawing portraits for a few days now. This is from a session I did over lunch where I was just messing around trying a few different things.

Twinkle, a beautiful ginger tabby.

Dearly little man! That face! Another pet commission!

I'll tell you what's up... It's your hot lovah in a teacup. With a tattoo on his thigh because he's the kinda guy who will love you 'til the sun's up.

I don't just draw animal portraits! Although it seems tat way at the moment! I did one and it kind of snowballed!!! This one is part of a series of illustrations that tell the story of Hansel & Gretel.

Commission portrait. Gorgeous tabby cat. Drawn in black and white line using fineliner's.

Gentleman Cat was modelled on a victorian oil painting with a special family cat as the star of the show! Part of a pair for a special Christmas present.

This one really did not scan well. Seems like scanners and cameras have a really hard time with saturated reds.
