June wip 1st Albert…2nd
-
Well I learned furry little critters are hard! I had sooooo many ideas but for some reason I just couldn’t execute them the way I envisioned them in my mind
this little Albert version was the first one to be completed. I started feeling a little witchy today so maybe that’s what made final click. I was going to give him a witch hat( and may still) but for now he’s got the scarf
-
@Asyas_illos he's a cutie! Personally, I'm digging how the colors of the scarf and his spots play together.
-
@Asyas_illos This is a cute character! I love the different colors.
-
@Kim-Rosenlof @Melissa-Bailey-0 thank you, one of my favorite color combos!
-
Adorable! I like how he tapers down to cute little paws.
-
@Katie-Carling thanks
I’m lovin this kitty! -
Would this pose be considered running or walking? he’s supposed to be pouncing…
-
@Asyas_illos I think if you show this "pounce"from the side it would work better to fulfill the running/ walking requirement. I'm more a dog girl but this lil guy is really cute.
-
@Asyas_illos looking very cute!
-
@Asyas_illos I agree with @Larue - a side angle would work better, I couldn't immediately work out his front paws...:)
-
Awwww .... So cute, and love the colours!
Art is hard.

@Larue @Rachel-Horne thank you for the feedback maybe I'll keep this one an extra and do it from the side… thanks again!
-
@Janette thanks!
I love these colors together too! -
Here's where I'm at now gonna rework the running/pouncing pose though
I flipped the canvas and discovered I like the orange patches on his other side. -
@Asyas_illos SO very cute!
Just two little observations:
- The front view looks head-on instead of 3/4 view -- would hate for a little thing like that to keep this cutie out of the top 16.
- The stark black base color is so deep it makes him hard to read. Lightening it just a tad could help. What about testing out a deep indigo, charcoal, or inky purple base color? It might read as black but would be more visually interesting and allow for more value which will make him easier to read.
Loving what you've come up with so far! Looking forward to seeing where you go from here.

He looks really cute!!!

@Melissa-Bailey-0 thanks for your input, it’s helpful as always! I will add some more highlights when I am done with all the images to hopefully add a bit more dimension to the black.
-
So I decided to use the pounce for the close up and went with a different running pose. But I’m having trouble with the ears? I m not sure if it’s working or should they both be back maybe almost completely flat? -
went with the ears back pose. just a couple finishing and I think I’m done -
Ok working on Albert number two! getting in my groove now
