Drawing Lab Challenge #1!

The first project from the Drawing Lab Challenge just happened to be the first project in the book: Draw 30 cats - in bed :D lol.  Well, not all my cats were drawn in bed, some were on the couch, some on the floor, some while sitting cross legged in a chair.  I also tried drawing some cats with my left hand to try to loosen up a little ;) Overall, this was a fun exercise!

Here's the results! (Don't laugh too hard...some of them are pretty bad! lol)




I liked this little sleepy kitty the best so I inked it and then used my pen tool in photoshop to trace it out after it was in my computer.  It turned out a little choppy (I'm a little rusty with my photoshop skills) but it's midnight and I am too sleepy to go back in and fix it! ;)


Week one is done! I can't wait to find out what Nutty will choose for the next project!
Good night everyone! (or good morning, it's pretty late! ;))

    I love your little cutie :D Nice work. And I think you have some other sketches in there that could be worked up to final pieces too. Great stuff!

    Next challenge is up!

    Thanks guys! It was fun coming up with different ideas - cats are definitely not something I would normally draw! It was great seeing what everyone else came up with as well! So many good ideas.
    I'm starting work on this weeks challenge right now...:)
    Happy creating as usual! :)
