The Surprised Cat - Drawing Practice March 02, 2019

in drawing •  6 years ago 

It's been a while since my last drawing, so it's time to star drawing again. I've been drawing mostly faces because I find that very difficult and challenging at the same time but today I thought it's time to draw something else. Here's my very first cat :) I'm not a big cat fan but drawing cats is a very different thing and I have to learn drawing animals.

As lucky as I am, the artist drawing in the video is left handed (again), which is a bit confusing, it's like in sports, playing tennis with a left handed player.

The body of the cat is ok, I'm not saying it's perfect, but as my first attempt, I'd say it's ok. The face is another matter. The cat looks very surprised and I think her head is a bit smaller than it should be. It's time to start drawing cat heads from different point of view.

Materials used:

  • A6 sketchbook, 105x148mm, 120g/m2
  • pencils HB, 2HB, 3HB
  • Dust Free Faber-Castell eraser.

This is the tutorial video I used.

Many thanks @pixresteemer!

One of your best drawings. Me like it. 😍

Aww, thank you, I'm glad you see it that way but I don't think it is though 😀
Today is your lucky day because I'm going to draw you a close up cat face 🐱😸😾😽

Yeii! Looking forward to see the cutie. Any chance for some coloring?

Nooooo, none! This drawing is the hardest and the most difficult I've done so far. The artist in the video said it took him three hours to complete the drawing. Then imagine me with zero talent.
Colouring it is impossible as the fur is the most important thing about the drawing. If you do it right, you get a cat, if not, you get a monster 😀
Let's see if I can finish it soon. Look at it as a black and white cat, there are many of those.

Well, nobody said cats are simple creatures. 😂
Color or not, I'm sure the final result will be super cool. Also, what is that? Zero talent? I beg to differ. 🙂

More like the happy cat ,but very well done I might add.

Thank you! Looks like I'm the only one who thinks this cat looks surprised :)

I think the head is proportioned fine. The cat's expression seems more pleased than surprised and is very cartoon like. It would make a great character. The rear quarters appear to be lifted off the ground, like she is not actually resting on her haunches. That may be where the appearance of surprise comes from, she is ready to bolt! Excellent work, I myself have slacked off in my drawing practice and feel like I have slid back on my skills. You inspire me to get back to it. Thank you for sharing your artistic process an progress with us.

Wow, I rarely get detailed feedback so thank you very much, this is really helpful. I'm glad you fell like this is inspiring and I'm wishing you good luck with your art.
