This is an amazing drawing. I honestly love how you made the fur so realistic, and the cat's eyes are absolutely amazing. I love how they show they show a reflection. It really makes the cat look curious. I can definitely tell you took your time on this. It is in my eyes perfect. I won't see another drawing quite like this one. This made me feel so... happy! Your techniques for this whole thing makes it look so real, I don't think anything needs to be changed on it. That you for making this, it deserves so many favorites!

As always Sophie your work is excellent, very detailed and the care and meticulousness of this shows so brilliantly and the quality is almost enough to make this looks real you couldn't even tell the difference. The sunlight showing on the cat's head and on the right what look like dust particles coming from the beam of light are so well displayed.

The color strokes on the fur are wonderful and are handled so neatly and the transition into light and dark is amazing too. Like many of your other pieces this stands out so well for it's detail and realistic look, simply outstanding work.

Thanks so much for taking your time to give a critique, Sami! <3
I'm glad you like the sunlight and dust, those details weren't included in the reference picture but I thought I'd add them anyway, so I'm very glad that you approve!
Thank you so much for the lovely critique, I really appreciate it!

Well, I must admit that the looks of it is very breath taking. You can really tell the difference in the ridges in the eyes and they make it look really realistic. Also how the blue shines on the chest fur and the muzzle. I also really enjoy each individual hair stand in the ear, very cute, it's obvious you put a lot of work into this.
The Originality is definitely seen in this peace due to seeing every stroke and every blend you use in not just this piece of art, but every one you create. How you did the eyes shows great originality along with the back foot and the little designs of sunlight around the face from the sunlight.
How you did the painting Technique was very good and how it looks like it is a real photo and that it makes you feel like you want to reach through the screen and pet the cat. The entire piece has a very calming nature to it, which is very unique and hard to find. There is no hard edges so the piece looks very blended and that is very nice and that is why it makes it calming.
Along with the Impact of this drawing, it hits you hard the first time with how simple beautiful this is. You did an amazing job and just like every other piece you do it's very good and every piece you do is just as amazing as this.

The color scheme and realism in this artwork is absolutley beautiful, and I cant say im not impressed!
Yet as previously said, some whiskers could be thinner and some more sunlight rather than just the patch on the nose could be needed?(Yet of course I know paintings like these are very difficult to complete!)
As well as this, I feel like the fur on its lower body is very patchy, as if its just been in water and shook itself, but Im not sure that's the case?

Nonetheless all in all it is indeed a masterpiece and I absolutely adore it!
Do keep up this amazing talent you have for art!!! <3

I totally agree with this critique! The whole this is one large clump of awesome work! The light on the face was most likely the same in the ref so she probs couldn't change that Awesome critique! Β  Β

Thanks so much for the critique!
I agree that the whiskers look slightly odd with how thick they are, I struggled a lot with them because for some reason they were really thick on the reference picture. It might be because they're so close to the viewer but I have no idea
But yes, this is a very fair critique. Great points!
Next time I do a painting I'll keep your points in mind :3 Thanks for taking your time to help me!

Ah, the fur is just outstanding in this painting. It's very hard to tell if its fake, it looks very real! The vision, is making my eyes water, in happiness.
The originality is just amazing! Nothing like I've seen before! Definaltly a 5 star!
Oh the techneuqe...OH THE UNIQUENESS IS THIS! Very wowing, the way you did the cat's designs, not like just blobs, you actually took your time in this, and worked it out. Just plain amazing.
Ah the impact, it was very um...what's the word...ah, unexpected for you to do a painting this nice, so many people will fall to your feet to buy this probably, it is very calming to the eye, it looks very real, 4 1/2 for this.

OK! As my failed attempt to this Critique, I hope you like your response! I thought this was great, keep up the good work!

PastelLitch In reply to Blue-Tessa [2014-08-04 13:43:48 +0000 UTC]

Ahh, thank you so much! ;o; Well what I did is I went into Photoshop and put everything down loosely with a brush that had flow activated and then I used the smudge tool on airbrush to make it blurry. With the halation, I just put the bright colours down and blurred it in the same way, but where the edges were I put my brush settings on overlay and painted some brown on top :3
