My latest drawing, Tabby the cat done in Faber Castell polycromos coloured pencil, on Canson acid free paper. Free hand drawing and size is 5.5 x 6.  Inspired by a photo from Janet Herman in Photos for artists.

Danielle,

This is AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL.  The fur is so soft; the white looks like angora!  Love the little nose.

The eyes are beautiful, but I'm not sure the shape is quite right.  (But, I don't have a cat to check against.)

This little cat would be so proud to see how beautiful you made him.
