EDM Challenge #185: Draw a Cat
My son and his wife in Washington DC have two cats - his and hers from before they were married. So this sketch was made from a photo of Sammy meeting baby Annabelle and her stuffed Jellycat Bella shortly after she was born.

Very nice cats and baby too. I haven't dared to use watercolor yet. My cat is done in pencil both watersoluble and regular. You did a great job with the whole picture.

Very nice drawing. I like the cat's ears and the expression they have.

Shirley, this is brilliant! I love the scrunched up newborn look of Annabelle - and the cat's position is just perfect. Very nice work! I'm really starting to look forward to our next sketchcrawl...

Lovely! i keep a "Nana" journal where I collect all the sketches and doodles of my grandchildren. I think someday they'll love it.
