Description
I may end up coloring this, and I may not. I usually don't post my rough work but this one was organized enough that I decided to go for it.If I do color it I'll have to fix her hands in the final version. And maybe some other stuff. Yeah.
Done entirely in pen, there's no rough pencil before this. I suck at drawing in pencil. It will be my downfall.

Wow, you did all of this without rubbing out?! Gasp. One thing, though - her eyes look a little blank.

Thanks for noticing her eyes! Those were actually the first part I drew, and at the time I thought she was going to be a puppet/doll.

Oh, well that makes sense now.

Awww, hehe, yes... there are kitties.

It's...like a big group of your favorite things. MLP, kitties, dainty items...

Yes. I was vaguely considering re-tooling it into a devID for that reason.

I say go for it!
Oh, and fishies. There are fishies.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes because no picture of this nature would be complete without fishies!
One of these days I need to make myself a DevID... I'd probably be hauling fish tanks around in it.

Love it! It has nice flow to it and the kitties are too cute!

I think it can stay like it is, somehow it looks great in only one color. Good job!

Thanks for your feedback, I'm still pondering it, but it seems a lot of people like it as a line drawing.

i don't think you should colour it, it's so cute as it is!

Thanks. I still am tempted but I may just leave it as it is.
So much to do, and if it ain't broke don't fix it? Hee!

I LOVE this, the beautiful chaos of the background, the serene look on the human's face and the way it contrasts the very expressive looks on the cat faces, and the leaves on the trees.
Working straight in pen, without the safety net of being able to erase, can result in some great stuff. You have to commit yourself to every line. This turned out really nicely!

Thanks! I realized how much I missed working in pen when I was drawing this... there are a few parts that I wish I had the benefit of an eraser for, but pen really forces me to think about composition ahead of time. I'm so used to working digitally these days that I usually draw without any thought for that, and it's become a weakness.
Also, I love hatching things. <3

Pens are a difficult yet addictive (and rewarding!) medium... but it definitly is hard to readjust to them after working digitally for a while. And it gets so easy to take for granted the ability to erase things, reposition them, and in general tweak them until they are flawless- I know that for me at least, those benefits of digital drawing are pretty seductive... but it always feels so good to throw an image onto a paper in one try and get it right. And you definitely got it right here.

Sometimes limitations can be a very good thing. Pens just feel so natural to me. Always have. Maybe because I learned how to draw with 'em.

Well, I suck at pen drawings. o.o
I love that snail on the table. For some reason he really catches my eye.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I don't know what it is about pen. Maybe it's just that my art's always been very line-oriented.
Thanks for your comment about the snail.

Alice in Ponyland?
I'd love to see this in color, by the way.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ohh, a vote for color. We'll see what happens. I have so many projects going right now that it tough to balance 'em all!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Alright! I'll hold off on coloring it! I'm so busy with other stuff anyway!
I am sorry I've been so absent on DA lately.

No need to apologize for having a life!

But life is getting in the way of my Deviant-arting!

Well, it's always better to keep a life on the side, just in case deviantART has to go down for maintenance or something.

Haha! So true.
...
Would you believe my computer just died? It won't turn on. D:
I have to wait until morning to use my air compressor on it and pray that it revives! I'm using the spare computer now! Yikes!
At least it means I'm spending more time painting instead of goofing around online, I guess.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes! It is! I fixed it ALL BY MYSELF using pieces from old, incomplete computers!

It's really nice ^-^
I love all the little kitty and fish ^^

Hehe, yeah, I had tons of fun drawing the fishies in particular.
