Re: Back again .... Finished

I'm so glad that you are doing a tutorial including some lessons learned in Photoshop and how they can be applied to drawing. I'm really happy about it. Do you think you will be able to show us how to do long hair too???
I know we are asking you a lot but I'll appreciated whatever you will want to show .
Thanks you in advance Ken __

Re: Back again .... Finished

I think I will limit the tutorial to just cat eyes. If I go into long hair I'll have to cover short hair, beards, white hair, gray hair ... etc etc etc ... it can snowball. As it is just explaining my method and reasoning with cat eyes is going to take a number of pages and quite a few illustrations. Just like my methods .. it won't be for everyone and many will find it doesn't work for them. But I still hope everyone who draws cats can pick up something of value from it. We'll see.

Long hair is really pretty easy but then all hair is fairly simple if you turn off your brain which is telling you how hard and impossible it is.

Just take it in small sections and draw what you see ... this is one of my first serious portraits ...



Of course some hair is more difficult than others ... but just take it a small section at a time and don't get overwhelmed. Keep a stick eraser handy and make sure no paper shows through the head ... otherwise everything looks translucent.

Great finish to the cat - I'm torn between disappointment that there will be no more updates to ponder and admiration for the outstanding quality and care shown in your finished piece .
I'm kind of relieved that aeroplanes aren't furry !

Thank you Peggy.

Thanks Neil. Now there's a thought ... have you ever considered doing a furry plane? How about a P40 ... with a beard?

Boy can I Identify with that. I've been having abdominal pains for the past months, better the last week, just got most of the test results back and all looks good so far, but......like Ken my warranty expired a while back.

We both should have opted for the extended warranty plan while we could .. but we were SO healthy back then! Who knew? Hindsight.

Hope your pains are nothing more.
