Looks Can Be Deceiving

Here is a commission I just finished. It's of an orange long-haired domestic cat (but he looks just like Persian). He's a beautiful cat, but not as easy to do as it looks.

This was a commission I got through my website. I buy a lot of my pencils from my client on Ebay. One day she visited my website, liked what she saw and commissioned me to do a portrait of her cat for her birthday. Thank you Beverly!! I hope you like what I did.

The only problem with getting commissions from my website, is that they send you the ref pics instead of me doing a photo shoot of the subject. I have no opportunity to get to know the subject, therefore, have no way of accurately portraying the personality of the subject. So I just do the best I can with what I am given.

Now I have an auction win to do and my gift to Kristy and I will be caught up (except for the two shows I'm supposed to be making new artwork for..... ).

Details:Prismacolor pencils on black Stonehenge paper
Size: 7 3/4" x 7 3/4"
Credits: Ref pic belongs to my client, who supplied most of my ref material. I also used my own ref pics of Persian cats at a cat show I went to last Spring.
