Okay im being so real do you mind if I use your art of cats as a reference? I’m trying to relearn on how to draw cat faces and I’m using your art to help me out. I’m not sure if you would be okay with that???

If you'd like to sure I don't really mind, but if you post anything referencing specific pieces I've done I'd appreciate credit! Though I'd be cautious in general about primarily relying on art when learning to draw something, especially any particular artist. I get that it's easier to reference drawings a lot of the time since they're already broken-down/stylized more than a photo, but you'll also be referencing whatever quirks and inaccuracies the artist has intentionally or unintentionally put in the drawing, and my cat drawings are certainly not perfect and also tend to be anthropomorphized lol

If anyone is interested in good sources for cat reference photos these are some of my faves :-)

(CFA and TICA have a bunch of pages of top cats from the last decade, as well as galleries for each breed)

Where do you find references for some of the poses you drew for some of the designs? For examples of what I'm talking about, I mostly mean the fighting, cleaning, holding prey, and running poses.

heres a few blogs/sites that i use for poses , design inspiration , and just trying to stylize different breeds. otherwise i watch youtube videos or just google specific poses like 'cat with bird' or somethin sometimes to get inspo
