This is my mother-in-law's kitty, Puddin, which I just finished. She's a long-haired cat and is a medium to lighter gray with a caramel tone with some white. I had a lot of fun drawing this one in 2B and HB graphite and on smooth bristol board. I did lots of layering, but I'm pretty happy with the end result and I might give it my mom-in-law for Mother's Day, since Puddin is her baby (in a sense).
I reside in a small rural area in Northern New England, where the summer sun can be very hot and the winter snow can get very high.
You can say that I am a self-taught artist, through loads of drawing instruction books and my friends' knowledge.
My start in art came in the form of painting rocks, which I had lots of fun with for about 3 years, by attending some Holiday craft fairs and always selling out.
But selling painted rocks was on my way to drawing. That was one of those times in life where I just had to move up to what it is that I really wanted to do, artistically; drawing.
I've been drawing for 5 years, have learned a few things, but I have so much more to learn, and to draw.
