Cat in a Mug, Digital Art

Hello and good morning on a Tuesday

I hope every one is having a great week so far. Last weekend, I experienced mental exhaustion. The only reason I didn't give up on everything and crawl into a cave until conditions improved was because I was fine emotionally, just physically and mentally drained. But conversations were painful, I had to cut down my social activities online. All of that can be attributed to improper sleep. To be young again and stay up late or all night and have zero consequences!

Today I want to share my art for the WOX community contest which I surprisingly got a placing in despite the technical issues I had. This time I have switched to Steemit so hopefully no more upload problems. I don't know who was in charge of the community account last week but they're nice people. Thank you for your support.

[First I would I just took a serious emotional damage because right after I finished typing I accidentally deleted the text by clicking enter on my keyboard after input a tag. Why me!?]

Anyway I am sharing another cat at because at this point there's no use hiding my addiction. This is the finished piece, a goofy cat.

Now to rewind to the beginning starting with the freehand draft

Next I turned on the symmetry tool to get the second draft. I used colour lines just because but when I started my clean drawing, I could see how they're better than a black draft but it wasn't such a huge difference

At this point the cat was giving me a Chuckey look, something mischievous and not the cute and sweet vibes of that cats and coffee. This was why I went with the flow and adding the tongue sticking out.

But I also tried to make alterations which frankly didn't wipe off the mischief. So I had this

And then there's also this
