As you can see by the process, I've been changing my mind about the cat a few times. This picture has been flopping around for moths, I haven't been sure if I should finish it or not. But this morning I did and I'm happy I did :)
The photo of the castle high up on a stony hill was what set the idea for the location.
It's fantastic! Fortunately, you finished it - and it's great that you shared the process, too. It's really interesting (for me as an "unable-drawer") to see how a picture is developping from idea to result...
ReplyDeleteYes! Artist often forget that it's actually really fun for outsiders to see this... I gues that's why we like to see "the making of" movies and music videos too :)
DeleteBeautiful ~ I very much like the version where he is also holding the fish.
ReplyDeleteYes, that was about to be the final one... but last minute I changed my mind.
DeleteI read somewhere that the new 2013 year of snake will be reserved, philosophical and observant - so maybe that's what the cat is about!
ReplyDeleteYes, could be :)
DeleteI like your sketches!!
