they are good drawings
Those are incredible. I drew a bunch of stuff when I was in elementary school but by the time I got to high school, I didn't want to do it anymore. For an art class I had to choose between an actual art class and a music class. I went for music and I'm glad I did. I was ok at drawing but I was much better at music.
Wow, those are really really good
You are definitely talented & have a wonderful sense of proportion that seems to improve as you go!
Please don't abandon your art for working in an office, someday you may look back, realized you haven't drawn in years & regret it. Don't be one of those people that say "I used to draw in high school..."
If you still have to hold down a job, that's okay, but just keep a promise that you'll always make time for it. Always keep something going, even if it's for a couple of hours here & there, even if it's very detailed & takes a long time. Those are the best ones anyway, right?
I love doing the detailed pencil work, too-have you tried the Berol Prismacolors(colored pencils)yet?
Always find something to challenge yourself, & keep some of your old stuff so that when you're older you can go thru it & say "Wow, the stuff I'm doing now just blows this away" It's a wonderful thing to be an artist!
The only cat picture I have to post is a cheetah portrait I did a few years ago in pastel & colored pencil..most of the stuff I've done lately is people in pencil.
(I'm sorry if it looks big, it was the one I have on photobucket,I don't know how to make it clickable, they have a new format & I haven't been over there much lately)

Excellent advice. And from someone who's a spectacular artist herself! She oughta know!
ShopCat, I'd love to see more of your work, too... why don't you start your own thread? Pleeeeeease?
Wow! You all are so talented!! I would love to get a drawing of our pug for my husband for christmas. If anyone is interested, pm me and quote me a price. I'm serious!!

Thanks for posting those! I love your work, especially the Cooking with Cattitude one.Originally Posted by catsallover
Your artwork is wonderful!!!Since you asked, here's the ones I have in photobucket that I drew (I made them clickable because I felt kinda funny putting them in your thread! But since you asked, I would love to share! These have been floating around here a bit- not exactly new to some people who saw the cookbook cover contest, or the poster contest-lol. Thanks!)

Thank you for the advice, I think I will still make time for drawing. Even sketching is good, it my not look as good as a detailed drawing but I think it still helps to improve one's art skills.Originally Posted by ShopCat

I've never experimented much with color, I tried it a couple times but the outcomes weren't too good. I have one of a Boxer dog but I can't scan it until I get a USB chord for my new printer/scanner.
Your cheetah is *amazing*! I'll have to commision you someday.

Those are very cute! I like the detail in them both!
