Maisy Cat Portrait

Pentel Pocket Brush Pen and watercolor again for a cat portrait from a photo by Lucylove on WetCanvas.com - there are two references and I will probably also sketch Reclining Maisy too.

This was a little different in technique. I went for a smooth graceful line this time, went a little heavy and succeeded in getting almost a Disney or anime' look withot losing the likeness or her proportions. Much of that is her very young cat proportions, huge ears and big eyes. She looked dainty to me and I loved the stripes of her mask.

So let's see how she looks in another position tomorrow or Tuesday!

Prismacolor Watercolor Pencils are a wonderful sketch medium. This was done as a cat proportions demo for a friend who's using her reference for a pastel still life. She got the setup just as she wanted it and then her cat Elmo walked up to take his place in it and pose for the camera!

Irresistible Elmo! Of course she's doing the version with the cat in. Who wouldn't? A fleeting moment of feline intervention and he's a very handsome cat. Got his proportions and markings well, so hope this helps her. Eye color was a little bit hard to discern but looked more green than gold. I went with greenish golden.
