siguneFirst off: I'm sorry I'm not more active on LJ these days. I'm awfully busy with my two jobs -_-. As always when I'm awfully busy, I have lost of creative urges, so whenever I have a bit of spare time, I break out my pencils and brushes. But it's either that or hanging around the Net. I doubt it's going to get much better until the Christmas holidays - so I'm already getting a bit panicky about when I'm supposed to paint my cards. Not to mention the Snape pictures I owe to various people. AARGH!!!
Today, I bring you a tiny painting. I really did my best for this one. I thought about cool and warm contrasts. I mixed all (four of :P) my paints in advance. I took care not to use too much water and to dry my brush regularly. I used only transparent paints. I blended layers with a damp brush. Do my efforts show? I have no idea. But at this moment, this is probably the best I've got. Plus a kitty.
I can't believe I've painted a cat. I see one around the house every day, and yet cats remain very difficult to draw for me. This particular cat is Lucifer (Lucy for short), Morgana's pet. I shiver at the thought of having to draw him for pages on end, but - well, I simply must have cats in my story. Here's to hoping my skills will improve :).
