I like sketching from life as well as from photos. I think it improves my drawings and paintings. Atlas, my cat, my sweet baby boy, is a somewhat easy model to draw when he is sleeping. He does move every 5 minutes though, because he can hear me scribbling away.
I draw myself by looking at a mirror. I hadn't done that in awhile since recently I have only been painting cats from photos. For my painting Self Portrait with My Cats, I struggled to paint my face. I had to practice drawing myself a few times in my sketchbook before I could continue that painting.
I like painting people too. I love painting funny faces/expressions, whether it is a person or a cat. I really love it when someone can laugh at my paintings.
Hope you are all well, I really appreciate you supporting my art!
