Cute cats practice

Cute cats practice - student project

I really like the whimsical poses the teacher chooses to draw the cats in. It really makes me want to practice more drawing cute animals.

I sketched the cats in colored pencils and I decided to keep the outlines like that. Instead of using black for the shading I chose the same color as the outlines. I only used black (Payn's grey) for the ground shadow to make the cats stand out more.

Up to the cute bear poses now :)

*edit:

After taking the class I looked for pictures of real cats to draw new poses:

It became so addictive that I even tried a doggie:
