Description HHHHHHHHH
Drawing full art with the Bien is good.
This was based on a dream I had about two days ago, where I was on vacation in someplace that looked like Switzerland or Austria. And the dream starts with me running up and down the snowy hills, a large open place of hills that are all covered in snow. There are trees in the distance, but the open space is huge. And I just remember running there and feeling so happy and euphoric even, it was a great feeling. I could run effortlessly and without being tired, I could make cool sliding moves, I was going super fast, it was awesome.
The rest of the dream was me going skiing and sleighing with my family, but that first part of the dream was my favourite for sure. I love it when dreams let you do these fun things that you wouldn't be able to do in real life (not the exact same way, I mean)
And I have been stressed a lot with exams lately (the one of today I sadly did not pass and I was so stressed for it in the past days) so consider this a breather and a little treat to myself

I used references for this! One of a running cat to give me an idea of how I should draw the pose:
Siamese cat running by Warren Photographic Β (the first one is the one I looked at)
And one for the background, to see how the shadows and light worked there and to give me an idea of what colours I should use:
Snowy hills by Sami/blaahhi on Flickr
Was some really good practice! Obviously not perfect yet, but it was good to learn

I had a lot of fun drawing it, and I hope you like it!

Wow this is so pretty!
As always your lighting is beautiful
And that snow has so many color shades and layers, it blends nicely~
Ah love the pose too, running poses have always been a favorite of mine, such nice motionβ™₯
Makes me want to run with the kitty through the snow haha >w<
Amazing job overall! :3

I saw this on your profile, and I have to say that it's absolutely beautiful! The style meshes together so nicely.
Then I looked at the description and saw that you made it with muro! That's so amazing. The background is so soft and pretty, and the character sticks out slightly with the vibrant highlighting. I can't imagine drawing anything like this on muro, my mind is blown for sure.
As someone who doesn't have SAI/Photoshop/Tablet, this gives me a lot of hope for my artwork!

Awwww, thank you a lot! It makes me really happy to hear people like this, especially because I have to admit it's one of my own favourite artworks at the moment, haha
I have to admit, looking back on my Muro artworks from years ago, I do feel like they were lower quality than the art I did in, say, MS Paint or GIMP at the same time, but it was the fun I had drawing in it that motivated me to keep using the program, and I feel like nowadays, I am getting somewhere with it, despite Muro having its limits It's amazing what practice can do in the long run, even on a so-called low quality program.
I don't know what art tools you use, but if I manage to draw with a tablet without working pen pressure and Muro, you can do art with whatever program you want to, as long as you put your heart into it! The only thing you need is to feel good with whatever you are using and you're good to go. I did give SAI many tries, but without pen pressure I just can't get nice lines in it, and it completely turned me off from drawing. So I'll just stick to Muro and have fun with it

I use GIMP mainly, I want to try Corel Painter. Your art gives me a lot of hope.
I feel the exact same way about sticking with what gives you the most enjoyment, even if it doesn't look as good as something that feels like a chore.Β 
Thank you for the kind words! I'll keep it in mind. Confidence seems to boost artwork just as much as practice does haha

I see! Those are definitely good programs that you can achieve a lot with
Yea! I mean, I can enjoy working in MS Paint occasionally, and people seem to like it, but I used to take very underpriced commissions for full MS Paint art, and it did bum me out a lot, so I prefer to not use it as much anymore.
No problem! Confidence sure can help, because it will give you a more positive outlook on your own art and motivate you to keep going with it. So that can do a lot!

Woah, I really like this! The pose is excellent, and the colors are beautiful as well! Snowy backgrounds have always been a pain in the ass for me, but you did a great job here! <3 And I don't know why, but I love that you added the bits of trees and the dark hill/mountain in the far background. It's something so small, but it adds a lot. qvq
