Description 'Hidden Predator' - 2013 - (Drawing) **FOR SALE**

ยฉ2013 *Stevegillettart

After the popularity and success of my first 'Cat' drawing at the beginning of the year. I have decided to draw another cat... Feel free to leave a critique or please let me know what you think.

Now it is finished and after I asked for suggestions for a title name of this drawing... as 'Cat 2' just wouldn't cut it!!!... I have chosen 'Hidden Predator' which was taken from two different suggestion titles. I took the word 'Hidden' from one suggestion ('Hidden Instinct') and 'Predator' from from another suggestion ('In The Eyes Of A Predator').

Thank you (Kev @ Artfreakish) and (Hannah @ Hannahhbananahh) for the two above suggestions and thank you to the rest of you for all your suggestions for titles, they were much appreciated and it was a hard choice to narrow them down. It was also very interesting to see how the titles varied.

This winning suggestion will permanently accompany this drawing. I hope you like my choice of title? (let me know what you think).

I would love to hear your comments, feedback or constructive criticism.. If you have any questions about this drawing or any of my other drawings then feel free to ask.

This original drawing is **FOR SALE** so if your interested in purchasing this original drawing or any of my other for sale original drawings then please message/note me for further information and prices.

This is amazing work if I may ask, I'm a bit new to all the tools for traditional art that are available now, what is a battery eraser like and used best for?

๐Ÿ‘: 0 โฉ: 1

Stevegillettart In reply to jennasartwork [2013-10-17 11:37:07 +0000 UTC]

Thank you for wonderful comment and for your question..
A battery eraser is a great eraser for small detailed erasing. They are slightly more expensive than a normal eraser (I paid ยฃ5 ish GB Sterling). Mine is made by a British company called Derwent but I'm sure you would be able to get a equivalent version in NZ. They take a AA battery.
It has a small rubber tip (5mm approx) and it vibrates as well as the tip rotating at high speed. It is great for white hairs, whiskers and other minute areas that need erasing. I use mine more than my standard art eraser. It is a must have if your doing any fine art and I could not do without mine.
I hope this helps and if you have anymore questions then feel free to ask.

thanks for the reply so did you use the battery eraser for the small white hairs on the cats face?

๐Ÿ‘: 0 โฉ: 1

Stevegillettart In reply to jennasartwork [2013-10-20 15:09:20 +0000 UTC]

I did use the battery eraser on some of it (around the nose area in particular and along the big whiskers). The other very fine white hairs on this and my other cat drawing were done with a embossing tool (fantastic tool).ย

After all the great suggestions I'm thinking of mixing your title and a suggested title from your young Jedi.. I'm thinking of 'Hidden Predator'... What do you think??
