    I haven’t done any realist work at that scale…I could be quite interesting. I’ll let you know when I pull it off. I’ve been thinking about the best way to draw my new cat and well…I’m undecided. I’d love to have it just sit there, but i’d rather not just draw it sleeping. Yes, an action shot would be most intriguing and perhaps a bit easier. We’ll see!!! Love your drawings…doodles and all.

    What big eyes you have! How patient. I move around too much to be so patient. Are you a calm person to have all that patience & attention to detail? Masha has so much fur. Meow.

  • olechka replied

    tank you. i wouldn’t call myself a calm person. i was excited about this one because it was one of my first cat drawings. i worked very fast – it took me probably about 3 hours to finish this drawing. i can’t sit in one place for a long time, most of my work is unfinished. i draw the most challenging parts, and lose interesting to bother with the not-so-interesting detail and can’t wait to move on to something new. very few of my drawings are “finished”...
