I thought I'd have a go with my friends kitty Leo. More practice I do and I'll get better at it :0

The fur itself is very well done! I think the muzzle is a bit long and lopsided, he looks more like a rugged big cat and not a house cat with softer features. - The 2 black lines attaching the "bridge" of the nose is throwing it off a bit.
The fur again is very nice but the cat seems to be in whole not have much form it looks a bit too square (in my eyes).

Shading is better! But I think a little more dynamic (depending on the style you want) would be better.



All in all nice work! Keep it up.

Thank you moko

Np! Keep up the good work, I'm horrible at drawing realistic animals you're way ahead of me with that.

You've got a lot of talent Lorri. You are very good at painting animals and this is a lovely cat portrait. Just keep enjoying what you do and you will get better and better.

Moko it's very hard when doing this fir the first time. I know it will take me a while to get where I want.

Erisian Have you seen any of my graphite pet ports? I have a few of them on fb. It runs in the family. I taught myself how to draw.

I haven't seen them Lorri but I've seen some of your earlier stuff on Gimp Chat and I've left a few comments too but you weren't around at the time. I've always liked your work, particularly the birds.

haha, it reminds me of Grumpy Cat!
Anyway, I think the shading on the snout is what makes the nose look a little crooked, as well as what Moko said. Great job with the fur, especially like the white hairs on the ears. I think the whiskers could be just like that to stand out a bit more.

Its looks good, can't really add anything to what has already been said apart from keep at it.
