Dusty cat


Dusty because I didn't use water on the pastels. I'm liking them better because I can do quick sketches and get intense colors.

And the cat actually held this position long enough for me to capture the contour, a rare moment.

Tech pen, nupastels, on Strathmore drawing paper.

The cat reminds me of an Egyptian statue in its serenity!
You must have been drawing fast!

After a year of drawing cats, I am a lot faster than when I started!
