Ari and Kyra, cat and kitten drawn from life
Today's daily art is little life drawings of both my cats, old fluffy Ari boy and young Kyra the Bumble Kitten. She's now wearing a collar that Sasha made for her, hasn't objected to it at all. Looks cute on her and does break the smooth line of her neck fur slightly.
Her contours and markings are tricky because she's in constant motion and usually folding or bending or jumping. Her gestures are graceful but I'm mostly drawing them from memory even while watching her!
The other thing I did today was begin designing my next scroll project and choosing a text. Haven't decided yet but did figure out one of the figures will be a cat washing herself and got a good gesture sketch on the practice paper. That sketch is too light to photo well but when I get to drawing it on good paper I may get a photo - or might wait till the entire scroll is done for photos. Depends on what I feel like doing at the time and whether I did other art on any given day.
For today I was still productive and thus happy.
Tomorrow supplies arrive!
I always like seeing Ari and now she has a playmate! Cool.
ReplyDeleteThanks! He's an old man cat now going on sixteen this April, but little girl Kyra has him playing all over the house! He's gotten very active and bouncy and loves her, I saw him cuddling her yesterday.
