Now be honest, are you laughing at the cat paw? It's a bit rubbish, isn't it? Did you even know it was a cat paw? I actually drew around the actual paw. Which, as you can imagine, the cat was thrilled about. I nearly lost an eye for this drawing. And you're laughing. Thanks a lot.Illustration Friday; Strings.
I LOVE IT!
ReplyDeleteI'm looking at your shadows!! There, you can't tell me how to look at your art.
ReplyDeleteI love it - Cat paw and all.
I'm laughing, but only because I have occasionally been on the receiving end of cat paw versus eye. This is a feast for cat.
ReplyDeleteIt's very professional! Bravooo! :)
ReplyDeleteNice illo. I like the tone :)
ReplyDeleteI bet the cat did not appreciate being a model!
ReplyDeleteLove it.
Terrific drawing! Loved the commentary as well. Now I have this image of you struggling with your cat -too funny!
ReplyDeleteThis is excellent, i love the fine detail you put in your work. hope the next one isn't of your cat tied up with these assorted things...
ReplyDeleteI AM laughing and I am also in awe again. I spend more time in awe at your Blog!! You are just fantastic.
ReplyDeleteI have no pets but sometimes you make me think about having a cat but a teenager at home is enough thrill.
ReplyDeleteMy cat used to help me sort my stuff out, always made it easier with laughter. She would only have to hear the rustle of pattern tissue to appear. Good memories.
ReplyDeleteCats just go mad for this sort of stuff - it must have been so hard for you!! Super drawing, even the paw! ;)
ReplyDeleteI did know it was a cat's paw, but I was paying more attention to the draftsmanship.
ReplyDeleteGreat work. But I would recommend trying to eliminate the page crease in the center via PhotoShop or some such thing.
I wasn't laughing - now I am. You're brave, trying to draw that kind of things that obviously belong to the cat. The cat was nice, to let you draw that long. Love your drawing, by the way!
ReplyDeleteStunning!
ReplyDeleteI enjoy all of your work!
I love everything about it. My fave, besides Flo's paw, is the twine ... the one with little straggler pieces coming off it. It is totally BRILLIANT!
ReplyDeleteThe cat paw makes this drawing for me. Especially knowing that you drew around a real one!
ReplyDeleteThank you all, folks.
ReplyDeleteThis started as a tape measure on the page. It stayed like that for months. I finally decided to finish it. Don't know how I feel about it, it turned out to be a surprise for me. I'd never have dreamt that I'd be drawing around a cats paw, but there you go. I have just two pages left now. It'll be the first time I have EVER finished a sketchbook. Ever.
Cheers, folks.
It's always fun and games until someone loses and eye. So now we can call you squinty??
ReplyDeleteGreat drawing! I absolutely love the cat paw! Haha! Amazing!
ReplyDeleteAnother wonderful drawing. You just keep them coming. I love it!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work! I just discovered this blog today. I will be back!
ReplyDeleteYour site is amazing, your drawings are great. I'll sure be back.
ReplyDeleteI love that tape you have crawling all over the drawing. I don't even want to know how you did it...I'll just admire it!

Thank you, lovely peeps.
ReplyDeleteHa! My cat took a swipe at my calf today when I forced him to go outside. Apparently it was a bit chillier than he preferred. They just don't like to be messed with, even for the sake of art!Lovely work, as always.
ReplyDeleteandrea, you have a wonderful gift. i like the sketches very much.
ReplyDeletei used to sketch a bit also, and seeing your pics....*grabs paper and 6b pencil*
