Description My 3rd speed drawing.
Time lapse video: [link]
or on my profile, have fun watching!

I wanted to draw this picture because i liked it for many reasons.

Tried to improve my camera setup and used bristol board for the first time. Very experimental graphite drawing, applied techniques from my experience with airbrush, painting with oil colours (drybrush) and pencils.

reference used: (google ->"smallest cat")

And thanks to many great artists on DA who inspired me to improve my skills and who shared their techniques with me!
Please check out my favourites to see some of them.

Thank you! According to footage about 27 hours to draw and some time to compare the drawing with the reference searching for mistakes.

i always see this picture on side-ads! "is this real or fake?" lol
really nice drawing!

8DFineArt In reply to mrs-matsuyama [2012-05-15 12:52:56 +0000 UTC]

I thought of that too when drawing and i think it's real. I may be wrong but the hand where the cat is sitting seens also quite large. I have seen some edited photos before and indeed not every picture on the internet is a true real life picture
But there are also many amazing pictures that are real and confirmed, like many pictures in the guinnes book of world records for example.
I didn't see any indication of editing on the reference.
I appreciate your thoughtful view.

I see, thank you for telling me! If you remember one of these links please tell me, too, I'm very interested to see how it was done.

mrs-matsuyama In reply to 8DFineArt [2012-05-16 20:34:52 +0000 UTC]

i cant remember, but it is most definitely 100% fake.
the smallest cat on record is around 6 inches i think and it isnt black and white

8DFineArt In reply to mrs-matsuyama [2012-05-16 22:16:00 +0000 UTC]

I see, thank you very much for the link! Then it's maybe a surrealistic drawing
i can't tell for sure and would not bet on any side, i belive it's 50% fake.
But in my view the cat represents life and nature on earth in our hands and we have to respect and take care of it.

Okay, I officially give up drawing. I'll stick to the limited world of photomanipulation from now on.

I think that when i look at some of my favourites, too. I have a friend who can't draw at all but he is an amazing musician. Everyone has his/her excellence somewhere else. You have fantastic photos in your gallery, i wish i could take that good pictures.

iAmoret In reply to 8DFineArt [2012-05-13 20:42:07 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! Music and photography are my two passions, but drawing seems to get you more respect. My best friend can draw, and that's what she's always recognized for. I'm recognized for my voice (which I don't think is all that good), so it seems everyone thinks that they can just leave me out of everything else. I apologize for rattling on like this- it's a habit.
