Hi everyone,

Hi thinkinginpictures - love your name by the way :-) i use a lot of pencil layers... just kinda getting the feel for it and for the different tones.. i normally use ref pictures, but also work from life..
This one i did in scratchboard.. which is basically a clayboard that has been painted with black ink.. then i draw with a razor blade to take the fur etc back to white.. then if i want a softer tone i can paint over parts with diluted ink.

No problem ;)

I do some 3D and making music... if that counts.

I made these drawings back in 2009.

I know I don't draw that well... My drawings look too childish for me ;)

arrtgrrl, your drawings are amazing.

I have absolutely no artistic ability as I cannot perceive depth, dimensions etc. but I really do appreciate what other people can do. The coats of those cats look so real.

You should definitely make money from your art - if you want to. You're very talented.

I would buy one of your drawings.
