Description Okay... this drawing is meant for my friend's birthday. Actually no, she requested this a long time ago.. like, a month? lol, I'm sooo damn late. Well anyway this is based from a photo of her cat which is taken by phone camera of 2.0 megapixel. It's surprisingly a clear photo, if you want me to upload it, I'll do with her permission of course.

This cat here is either Garu or Dorus, her male cats, who are best friends to each other. Unfortunately Dorus wanders somewhere and never came back, he is sorely missed by Garu and my friend. This friend of mine loves animals and hopefully, next year when we graduate she will be accepted in the college she wants and come a step closer to be a vet. She often adopt stray cats, and these kind of people are really helpful for the strays since there are no animal shelter or any of the kind in our country. That's why I respect her so much.

My dear tools,
2H, HB, 2B, 8B graphite pencils
soft white eraser
80gr A4 white paper
I must thank them a lot.

I wish for advices, critiques, and honest comments to help me improve. I cannot thank s one by one, but I will give a llama in return if you haven't got one from me.

And if you have a great photo of animals you want me to draw I'll draw it, for s. Well actually if you don't have points I'm doing it for free too. It is part of my practice after all. p.s. I do simple pokemon art too. Like these [link]

I think the eyes are a very striking part of the picture, and wonderfully done. I think your technique could be improved if you put as much detail and shading on the rest of the cat, maybe with shorter strokes for more detailed fur, which follows the curves of the cat's head. But it looks very good already, I am just trying to give critique since you asked for some tips.

Thank you for the tips and advice I'd try shortening the strokes next time i'm drawing something.

Wow this is great! How do you do the fur and eye so good? Nice job, you're doing good.

well I don't know about the eye.. i just follow the reference. The fur need patience, you should make thousands strokes there one by one, following to where the fur grows.

Well I see you use pencil colors. If you practice hard, you can be better than me! Well my hand is not smart with pencil colors, i don't know why.
