What do you think so far? (Art)

I got inspired by watching Project Runway. So I pulled out my sketchpads and such.

without thinking too much, I came up with this cute sketch. I decided I want to watercolor it.. and watercoloring's something I haven't done since college.. about 7 years ago.

Aside from lowering the ears (too far back I think), any feedback? What color cat should I make him? I was going to make him a tuxedo, but I like bright colors!



I just did a very quick coloring of a tuxedo in photoshop to see how it could look (gotta work on the lighting):

Really nice work! I think doing it as a tuxedo like Monet would be awesome! Glad to see there are some other artists on the forum.

thanks all

I think tuxedo would be very challenging because of the black. there's hardly any contrast and Im afraid it'd look like a blob with pink triangles for nose and ears, lol

Actually, I kind of like the pencil drawing best. It's so simple and elegant, I'd just frame that.

That's what would happen if I tried! Instead maybe you should try doing a tabby. Those are pretty fun...

That is amazing! I love looking at art, but I can't draw a thing, myself!

Very cute! I think it will be kind of hard to get the lighting and contrast well since you are working from your imagination as opposed to a model.. I would be interested to see how it turns out in the end oh, and I think he should be a Siamese

I was thinking a siamese too!

I would suggest, since you said that you haven't been painting with watercolours in a long time, that you at least copy the sketch and "rough" paint it first to get your groove back, before moving onto your original.

I love it as a tuxedo... very nice, I have tried my hand at watercolor once or twice, I did do a quick acrylic last winter for my daughter of one of our cats... it's not the best, but I sketch, painting is something I have no training in besides an elementary school class.

here is the painting of Princeton...
