Cats of June 2019

@Joen-Söderholm said in Cats of June 2019:
I really wanted this to be more fun and relaxing, without too much pressure. Both for me and for whoever wanted to have a go at it in their own way. I think the worst thing is if the challenge feels so daunting you're just relieved when you're through it.
You know, last year was my first Inktober, and by the end of that I was both wanting it to carry on, and glad it was over lol

@Sophie-Lawson Haha, I did feel the exact same thing last year because I got a bit too ambitious with my cats after all :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_cold_sweat:
-
I love this idea! And I love cats too, see you on #catsofjune
-
@mag awesome
I'm looking forward to this more and more -
I love this idea!
-
And so the month of cats begins!
I won't spam this thread with all the cats I'll draw. But here's the first one. Don't forget that you can follow tags like #catsofjune on instagram to see what both I and others are drawing.

@Joen-Söderholm That’s such a nice challenge you invented. It will be nice to compare your new cats with last years cats
-
Thanks a lot @nadyart ! Yeah, it will be interesting to see what has changed since last year! Not to mention just having a collection of 60 cat drawings by the end of the month :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_smiling_eyes:

9 cats done and 21 to go!

@Joen-Söderholm So cute!!! My adorable cat, Casper, passed away a few months ago. Your 7th kitty made me think of him
Casper was abandoned by the neighbours (they just moved one day and left him outside). A month or so after they left, I made myself dinner and while I was getting my vegetables from the stove, he came in through my window and stole my chicken fillet!!! He even turned at the window with the fillet in his mouth to give me a cheeky look! He adopted me that day. I had him for just three years before he got very sick and died after a couple of months of going to the vet's almost every day. But he was the best buddy ever. He was the most grateful cat in the world. And he followed me everywhere! He even slept right outside my bedroom door.

@ShannonBiondi I am so sorry for your loss. It is SO heartbreaking to lose our beloved animals. Casper sounds amazing and I LOVE his origin story--I can just picture in my mind him turning at the window like that.
-
So sorry to hear that @ShannonBiondi but still glad I could contribute to bringing back that memory
I do still miss the cats I grew up with, Simba and Zorro. Simba was like a grumpy old man from an early age while Zorro was as dumb as a bag of hammers (but in a very charming way). Ran into walls, ate worms, stuff like that. -
@Eli and @Joen-Söderholm Thanks guys
That's him there. Little potatoe.

@ShannonBiondi Beautiful boy!!
-
@ShannonBiondi so cute, I love the smudge on the bottom of his nose!
-
@ShannonBiondi such a sweet boy. So sorry for your loss.

These are great!
I think I might participate in this challenge. I was going to do MerMay but it got away from me.
I love cat's and I think this would be super fun to do.
This might give me the opportunity to challenge myself with a new style, something quicker and not as complicated from my usual style.Jessica Jolicoeur - https://jessicajolicoeur.wixsite.com/jessicajolicoeur

@Jessica-Jolicoeur Sounds great!
There's still a lot of days of June left, so I say go for it. Last year I found it really helped me in finding a more simple style. -
...and so the month of cat drawings is complete for me!
30 cats done and now I'll take some time to ponder what I've learned this time around and what has changed since I did this last year.Also a shout-out to @Sophie-Lawson for going all the way with this challenge too!
