Cat eye

Postby NightxPine » Sun Feb 19, 2012 11:18 pm

Okay. Well this is a close-up of a cat. The fur took forever! D: lol. :P

I used a photo as an idea/reference. Take a look: Ref Photo HERE

Comments, criticism and ideas for the background (because I can't think of anything) are hugely welcome! :)

P.S. I definitely DID NOT take 22 hours to do this. I took 10. This is because I was watching movies and surfing the internet at the same time and sleeping :3. :P

Maybe to make the fur more realistic you could smudge it lightly? Other than that it's great.

I think it's a very lovely cat that you've drawn. I like how you've added in the tail as well.

As far as crit goes, I think the use of a white surface for the cat wasn't the best of ideas. You should've gone with a light brown base where you could've drawn the fur on top. Also, don't be afraid to make the fur softer (with a softer brush like the airbrush or the pencil with the opacity turned lower) and then go over with a slightly harder brush to make the fur stand out more. I think it's a very good attempt at fur, though! It must've taken quite a while.

The eye looks so blank in comparison to the fur, because you seem to have been unsure how to shade it. Don't be afraid to use the different oekaki tools. The water colour brush is a very lovely brush to shade with. It gives a soft effect and blends the colours together to create a more natural look. Don't be afraid to use many of the same hues of a colour, or even use different colours to shade with. But, that's hard to explain, and is best left to you for you to try and practice.

I really like the look of things, though. Keep on drawing, I'd love to see more of such work. (:

Thanks so much Nex for your advice. I was unsure of how to do the eye because ChibiPaint was still new to me and I didn't know how to use it. :P I will definitely take your advice in future times to come. :) Thanks so much for your help and opinion.
