WIP & Final – Blink Cat Pet Portrait on Drafting Film
This colour pencil and acrylic portrait of Blink, a beautiful cat owned by a fellow artist, was also created on drafting film. I love this up-close-and-personal, larger than life composition, where the main focus is on the eyes – in this case the eyes are huge, 2″x 1.5″ in size, while the whole artwork is about 10″x9″ in size.
I’m updating this to add some photos of this one in progress as quite a few people have trouble believing its not a photograph, even though I have cropped the painting to include some of the blank paper at the bottom:) I keep a small camera next to my easel and document the progress of nearly all the pieces that I create.

And the final Image, I added some of the white whiskers in white acrylic, as the drafting film was loaded with cp pigment. Please let me know what you think of “Blink”!
