I love my cats so much that I had to make fan art of them 🧡 Meet my sweet boys, Obi & Chewie! We picked them up from the shelter 3 months ago and now I can’t imagine life without them 🐱
As cute and amazing as they are, it’s also bittersweet to be their owners. They are scottish folds, which can be referred to as a ‘torture breed’. The gene that gives them small folded ears also causes lifelong joint pain in these animals. They are only 9 months old and really active now, but as they age, they will develop pain and health problems from this gene mutation. So consider this post a cautionary tale against buying scottish folds from a breeder!
If you’re looking for a cat, try visiting a shelter - they are full of sweet kitties like Obi and Chewie who need a home🧡

Warm-up drawings, plus the usual "redlines". I do them after i finish each sketch to gauge my accuracy, and to see if i can find any specific areas i'm weak at.
They turned out neither better or worse than usual, but i was satisfied with them. I wanted to shake off my hyperfocus on line quality (it was obstructing my progress with other stuff), reset my observation skills (i was consistently getting specific things wrong from imagination), gain more sketching speed, and lose the performance anxiety. Got the job done on all counts, except... i was warming up to draw people, and idk about you but i see precisely zero humans in here

Barn owl sketches! I just want an owl to swoop down from the sky, gently land on my shoulder, give me a little owl hug, and then silently fly off into the dark night. Is that too much to ask? 😭

I like to choose random animals that I'm not good at drawing, and fill a page with sketches of them, as a practice exercise. Here's some raccoons that I did a little while ago. Drawn ink Diamine 'Earl Grey' ink with a Sheaffer Targa fountain pen.
