Ink, marker, and colored pencil on smooth Bristol, 2.5x3.5", Completed December 2017 |
The next Christmas ACEO I have to share is the second friend-cat of the lot. It features my handsome high school friend, Nat! I literally searched "handsome cat" to find a good reference photo for this X3 I didn't mention that to anyone so I was especially pleased when Nat's comment about it was "IM THE MOST HANDSOME CAT!!!" It couldn't have been more perfect!
Available printed on greeting cards, mugs, and more!
This is the third cat I drew for this series which had brown eyes and black fur. I'm pleased that all three cats have their own unique vibe and don't come across as too similar (at least I hope that's so!). By this point, after making nine ACEOs with the same theme, the process and details started to get both fluid (good because it took less time to make each one) and fuzzy (bad because I kept worrying I would forget something important). My confidence was both high and low at the same time! (And I still had several more to go...)
