I nabbed this after our meeting tonight. We were chattin' about all things sketchin'. So, here's another. I guess this is where I'm headed regarding my "cartoon sketch" approach. It's definitely a way to get things down quick 'n dirty. But it's also fun! Should I go for some graytones or color splashes? Maybe so.
My kitty cat has no idea, while she stretches during halftime as the Panthers play on the tube, that I'm considering adding a third cat to our household. One of the feral kittens our condo unit has become caretakers of has really melted my heart. Anyway, cats 'n kittens are definitely great sketch subjects!

Tom, this is a great drawing! One of your best, that I've seen at least. The energy and movement as well as the variation in line weight is perfect. My only criticism of it is the way you have the edge of the cat's butt touching the edge of the door knob. It's one of those general rules that you shouldn't have the contours of items that sit in two separate depths touch each other. There should be overlap. Great drawing! Is he wearing a mask?

I also really like the composition of this--the way the contours of the drape echo the cat's stripe echo the concentric rectangles of the door. Kitties are fun to draw...

Yeah? It's wild. Folks seem to dig my sketches, sometimes more than my belabored drawings. That's groovy cool with me. Both are a wonderful exercise and exploration and both help the other in artistic ways, I think. Yeah, I goofed on the doorknob. I was trying to make an overlap but something in my wrist pulled back and it went down the way you see it. That's the beauty of direct-ink sketching though. When it's down, it's down, warts 'n all, and you get to see what you need to work on. Yet ANOTHER reason I love direct-ink drawings. :)
