Description

2008- We recently had a litter of kittens, this drawing is from a snapshot we took just minutes after mommy kitty licked her dry. This is also my very first animal portrait. I plan on several more as the kittens grow. Edit: Actual size on paper, 6x6 inches. 90lb canson paper, b and 2b mechanical pencil. Kleenex, qtip and stubby used for blending.

Absolutely perfect in every detail! Such a precious moment to witness. I will be looking for more of your work. You make me miss my pencils! Thank you so much for sharing with us here.

Looks like a photo! Fantastic! Markings similar to my kitten, Dolly.

Superb skill and charming subject. Am I right in thinking that you have slightly blurred the backs of the palms to give a depth of field effect? What size was the original sketch? Well deserving of a score of '5' (which I don't give very often).
