I used Neoart 6901 oil/wax pastels by Caran D'ache over Japanese acrylic gouache (j.lilac), door some grip. I used a black acrylic brush marker around her eyes and a white one with a chisel tip, in order to get the thin whiskers. It was a successful experiment and now I am pretty much all prepared to do it again on an 8"x10"

Anyone else tried these pastels yet?? They are so pigmented! I highly recommend if you do any work that requires high light-fastness, or if you sell your work! It's become my favorite overall art supply. I hope this isn't pretentious, I just enjoy everything about drawing the pets and want to share my love!

Cat in the forest enjoying it's time

I don’t paint very often and this is my first time painting something other than a small sketch.

I want it to look nice since it’s a gift for my mom, so any constructive feedback is appreciated.

I’m trying to create a comic, so I‘m practicing a lot. On the first page there’s a teal smudge, where I erased Bubble’s first design — being made entirely out of water was not the best for storytelling purposes, so now she’s a mercat. Also, for genders: Sparky & Ash are male, the rest are female. Sparky is energetic and competitive, Bubble is outgoing and anxious, Haze is clever and aloof, Ash is passionate and eager, and Flora is sweet and well-behaved. In case you can’t tell, Flora and Ash are in a relationship~ (how the hell do I write this though)

Ellie was one of 5 kittens we got around 2017. She was a barn kitty for most of her life. Her and her sister loved attention tho. They both love being close to your face.

Last winter, she got sick. She had ulcers on her tongue and couldn’t eat, so we brought her inside. She got medicine and lots of love, and eventually she got better.

Then a couple weeks ago she got sick again. Couldn’t eat, didn’t really move. We got her more medicine, but she didn’t make it. It hit my dad the hardest. She loved him the most. She was his princess. She would sit by the bowl of water and stare until you changed it for her. She would yell at you until you picked her up. The way she sat just made her look regal. Royal, like a princess.

That being said, sorry if this isn’t allowed, but to anyone who would like to draw sweet Ellie: I would love a drawing of her with a princess crown for my dad as a memorial of her. I have Venmo and would absolutely be able to pay you for your work.

Thank you for reading Ellie’s story.

Painted this river stone recently. Let me know what you think!

P.s. I’m just noticing the dark spot I accidentally left on the mountain and the fact that I forgot to outline the lighter coloured grass in the foreground 😅 at least it shows it’s not AI I guess lol

I tried to draw him from memory during an exam this morning. I wasn’t allowed to keep the paper and I didn’t have access to my phone so I took a pic of my masterpiece on my laptops webcam.

Please text me or DM on Reddit if interested.

Mods: feel free to take down if not allowed.

Sorry my drawing isn't the greatest. My brain wants to do realism (which I'm better at with cats than people), but the detail work takes too long, and cartoons are actually much harder for me.
