This old children’s book is kinda similar to WARRIORS by Erin Hunter. An English house cat, named Tom, goes into the forest. He runs into a mother fox and is chased away. He then gets chased off by a badger guarding her babies. Tom later meets a “she-cat” and has kittens with her.
I know, I know! It’s not VERY similar but the art style reminds me of the old book covers. Perhaps this book inspired the Erins in some way.
I struggled with this concept. not that happy with the final image but it is what it is. Moving onto the next!
Not pictured, I did end up digging up a lot of references for cat skulls and also asked my friend to give me second look. She helped to point out a lot of flaws so I ended up redrawing and liking it a bit more. I always forget how valuable it is to have feedback during the process! I'm always so scared to ask because I don't want to bother people.
Fun fact, Holly plant cats are tiny.
Important fact, also very poisonous, do not touch them.
Working hard this year to improve on drawing environments. Drawing lush plant covered grounds took awhile, but was worth it.
