Inktober 2024 Day 1

So much to do and so little time. I debated on whether or not I wanted to do Inktober this year. I also debated what I wanted to draw. Did I want to follow the suggested prompts, do my own thing or follow other lists. Or just pick and choose daily from various lists. DidContinue reading “Inktober 2024 Day 1”

The process of kitty

Here are some of of the kitties I drew before finding the one I liked. The large one circled in yellow and then trying it out on a smaller piece of paper. And one sketchbook page using that kitty shape….

Some recent kitties

The “Cats out of the Bag” show is up for a few more days. I am already jumping into new projects. This is a recent painting that I submitted to a show. The original idea came from a stack of kitty sketches on index cards that I have been reusing this shape over and over.Continue reading “Some recent kitties”
