Cat 20 is done

(For those who don't know, I'm doing a self-created challenge called "Caturdays", where I'll try to submit a cat drawing every other Saturday for a year. More info found here: Caturdays! )

For once, a black and white cat. I have drawn my share of bicolor cats during this challenge, but for some reason a black and white one wasn't among those - which had to be corrected. I also wanted a more menacing looking cat. Domestic cats might live with people, but they are still hunters - and efficient ones at that.

Also, for once, a fullbody This pose was just too good to crop, and it's been ages since I've done a fullbody on black paper. As in "it's been years", and I really needed an updated example for my commissions...

Want a drawing like this? My commissions are open: Commission info

Prints, pillowcases, phone covers, notebooks, etc. can be found on my Redbubble store: www.redbubble.com/people/Becky…

Reference photo taken myself. It's also posted here, in case anyone else wants to use it: Cat stock 1

Colored pencil, 13cm*18cm, some 2-3 hours?
