WOW! 
This picture is going right into my favorites folder! 
For some time I've considered investing in some derwent colored pencils to make this kind of artwork. I already work with soft pastel pencils, but I can't really do detail work with them as much as I liked too and thought that maybe colored pencils would do the trick??

Maine coons <3. I have my own too. How big are these guys? Mine is about 10 kilos or a bit more. But he is a little fat. Doesn't like to moove at all. He wouldn't clomb a tree in my wildest dreams. But JΓΆrΓΆ is okay, he is a hansom and good natures cat and I love him <3

the fur is just amazing. if i may ask, how did u draw the whiskers?did you draw white over the rest of the fur or just leave it blank?

Thanks for the kind words.
I used an embossing tool (example: [link] ) to mark up the whiskers before I drew the fur. When the whiskers are indented in the paper, it is much easier to avoid pencil strokes into them.

Aww, You don't know how much I love this! :3 I thought it was a photo for a minute. The detail is incredible! And what beautiful cats you have there. The orange one (Alya?) Looks a little like my cat, Woggles. :3 Anyway, Great job! You deserve a watch!

Thank you very much! Like your Woggles, Ayla (Sky's grandmother, which you correctly identified) passed away 7 years ago. Fortunately, I still have Sky to keep me company.

I love how you did the yellow cat's fur; it's so soft and downy. you should do more color pencil work!

I'm glad you like it, and also wish I had the time and energy to do more artwork. But in the same breath, I must remind myself how much I like my day job.

I'm afraid my attempts at weaning myself off of sleeping have never met with great success.
