Cat hears a can-opener

What was the cat thinking? That was hard. That casually drawn, too large left ear needed an ‘explanation’. And thanks to Delft for pointing the missing essentials! Whew.

Cat Stickland-ized

Throw together more drawing, some Popsicolor textures… Seriously this isn’t done yet. I’ve taken a few days to think about the character, the expression… Something is coming to complete this.

A cat for ASketch proceeding

Dropped into Procreate for some colour. The charcoal tools do a great job here.

A cat from ASketch

ASketch is a funny app. I mean a bit odd actually. I really am not too fond of the twisty tool controls. Sometimes things can be stripped too bare to ‘essentials’, a too spare interface for simplicity. And sometimes reinventing things that work perfectly well and as expected just isn’t the right way to go. Procreate has the sliders. Perfect and simple.
