No More Cats Please

So...I'm starting to get tired of drawing so many cats. I definitely think it helped me understand the cat: understand how it moves and emotes, how far I can stretch it before it breaks into a monkey, etc. There might be one more posting involving cats - just the finished one left - but for right now I'm taking a break and drawing something else.

Cat Crazy

Oh my goodness, more cats! You'd think I was some sort of Cat-Lady at this point...but it's just more practice trying to find this new character. Almost got it!!

Here Kitty Kitty Kitty

Working on portfolio pieces and noticed that I don't have much in the way of animal characters, so I thought I'd try to fix that by the end of this week. Had no idea what I wanted to do, so took Raul's suggestion of CAT and ran with it. Started by drawing some studies from W. Ellenberger, D. Dittrich and H. Baum's Atlas of Animal Anatomy for Artists and sketching from photos I took at Auckland Zoo and found by googling just to get the idea of how the kitty worked before I started playing with shapes, etc. More pages to come as I wrap up kitty today/tomorrow. Good stuffs.
