Yea, I do photography and used to practically live on deviantart.com, so I've seen a LOT of drawings that are very lifelike, but these just look like B&W photos.

And no Ducman, I only scan my pictures when they're done, otherwise I have to take a picture of them and I prefer using a scanner, which I don't have at home
Can you start one and scan it before you finish?

My cats are all rescues/strays DSH. Pipsqueak would love a drawing too. He is a siamese mix, with the crossed/wiggling eyes
A tattoo would be awesome! You would just have to be very cautious of where you go, you want it to look the best I'm sorry about his health, but thankfully he has lived a nice long life. And I love Siamese cats! Their blue eyes are adorable Hows their temperament? I actually do plan on getting a Siamese when the time is right

@Cheylink, the black cat wasn't that difficult to do, I just kept layering and smudging the charcoal accordingly. The hardest part was the whiskers! But I just used a kneaded eraser The eyes were the second hardest, I had to use tortillons to blend in the eyes.

@BMW Kitty Cat Thank you!

@Minka as previously stated, I do not have a scanner at home. I do however have a camera so i've taken a picture of a commission for a man (which is obviously not done yet) that I've started. Sorry for the quality!



The picture I got wasn't the highest quality, you couldn't see which direction the hair went, but I think I did it pretty well.

Thank you The best tip I can give you is to actually try to draw fur! I read up on it for hours, but really the best thing you can do is to try it yourself.

Also, I do the darker areas first and then move onto the lighter ones. I use a kneaded eraser and that really helps! I only use your typical pencil and mechanical pencil, nothing fancy. Once I make the fur, I smudge it only a little bit so that it doesn't look too sharp

Other than that, take your time. The dog I just posted probably took 4-5 hours to do (not sure, I was on the computer/watching tv during) and I tried to look at the direction of the fur, that helps it look more realistic

Those are absolutelyfabulous! I'd give my right arm to be able to sketch like that; of course, then I couldn't sketch at all because I'm right handed
Seriously, you have a wonderful gift!

I believe that everyone can draw, it just takes practice and self confidence!

Oh my dear heaven, those are absolutely fantastic! You do gorgeous work!

I always wanted to get a portrait done of our Bridge baby Banshee and she passed before we did anything. I would love you to do a portrait of our Mollipop! Am sending you a PM.

Alrighty, some newer drawings that I did! I drew the dog first but didn't want to post it because, obviously, this is a cat forum But I got commissioned for the cat, so I decided to post. Enjoy!


Her name is Mia, she's a young Siamese cat with beautiful blue eyes, I love Siamese! I had to darken the image a bit since the cat was white except for her nose, so you couldn't see that much unfortunately!


And this is Kayla the rottweiler. Apparently she's a very expressive dog and in a lot of the pictures I was sent she was smiling back at the camera Didn't really need to darken this image since Rottweilers are black.

You are very talented. I love both Siamese and Rotties. Unfortunately Rotties have gained the reputation for being vicious but that has not been my experience with the breed.

It's sad how one breed of dog can get a bad rep. Pit Bulls get the worst of it, and there are some sweet one's out there! I've personally never had a chance to pet a Rottweiler. Shame no one around here has one

Thanks both of you Gemlady, there's nothing wrong with your avatar drawing haha
