This is my version of the Mushroom!!! not really that good at it but it's ok!!! I think i had a little to much fun wit my tortillion!

Sorry - off topic ....

Tim



sorry for the late reply, my answer is mysteriously gone with the wind.....

20 years - THAT is a long cat-life. I totally can understand that you don't want to draw a cat right now.
You are correct, Josh is a smart cat - and he knows this. He is very affectionate and always with us (the other 7 are very close too, but not as much as Josh) and I must say thank you to you because now we know the father of Josh.
He is a wild cat, born free until neighbours grabbed him and put him into an aquarium. They thought the mother was gone, but she was still there with the other 2 babies.

Everyone in our village knows that we are the "cat-and-dog-people" *laughing* so someone told us of this babycat in the glasshouse with a wooden top. Result - Josh came to us in the age of about 4 weeks (and his two siblings 8 months later).

Btw - his weightis about 6,5 Kilos (sorry, again I don't know the US measure ) a real hunk...

Nice mushroom! I know the problem with the tortillion, I like to use it too.
But your drawing looks good.

LoL Martina he is a hefty cat ...mine was as well often mistaken for a raccoon. This is Putnam a few years ago sitting in my lap.

My off topic as well.

Thanks so much

Freak .....your mushroom is nicely done

I love cats as well .. mine is soooo big his name is cowboy and I have two others lol we love them so much we have in our room padded boards that cross around above where we walk so they can walk around like they are the King .. well what cat thinks its anything but a king or queen .

I'm drawing a German cat? Cool! I'm almost done with Josh. The only thing I need to do is to get some white gauche for the whiskers. I will post him tonight or tomorrow for the dead line.

Tim, Maybe drawing a picture of your own cat will help your healing. I can understand tho, when my cat died in 1999 from cancer, I became very protective of his image. I could not look at him as my heart was in shreds. My eyes still well up, my throat get tight and my heart longs for him even to this day when I look at his photo. I miss him so much. Another cat came into my life 6 months after his death and I had a hard time opening up to her. I did NOT want her! I spent soe time looking for her owners, but somehow she stayed. I joke a lot and tell people I'm still looking for her owners LOL

I draw cats, but I CANNOT draw her Her markings are very hard. She is a torti and I don't know how to do it. Maybe I can have you use her for a challenge and I can see how other people might do it.
here is her pic....

Tim,
how cute he looks!!! And he really looks like Josh!

Kim,
*lol* have you ever had any doubt WHO is the owner - you or the cat???

DK
Wow - she was a beauty!!

Thanks so much DKelly I had started to draw her but I have left it unfinished ...soon I'll get back to drawing her. I have a hard time passing through the pet food section in the supermarket still. I really want another but I had made a promise long ago to my wife that we wouldn't have anymore.




She was a sweetie I miss her alot.

HERE'S JOSH!!!!!!

Hi Guys,

The cat in my photo above is still alive LOL I adore her. Her passing is going to take a huge part of my heart, but hopefully I have MANY years with her....

Tim, I understand your feelings soooooo much. I couldn't look at his pictures for years because my throat would close and I couldnt handle it. I have his ashes because I never wanted to leave him behind. I don't display them openly, but knowing he is "with" me is a comfort. Sometimes I touch his collar, and can feel ok. You had a friend for 20 years. It is a hard loss.

Martina ....I have never had any doubts who is boss...my cats walk around here expecting to be worshiped lol

Now here is my attempt of the house. 6 x 8 inches, Cretacolor monolith pencels HB 2b 4b 6b.
Sorry because of the bad quality. It war really hard to make a photo from and I have no scanner.

Have a nice weekend. Uta

Uta,
the house looks very good!!! And you've taken a good photo. I mostly take a photo of my drawings - I find it better because my scanner works not such good.

DKelly,
WOW! This is incredible!!! Ou did a phantastic job, Kelly!!! I have the feeling that Josh will jump out of this drawing every minute!
Please may I print it for me and my husband?
*laughing* Good to know this! Sorry for this error - but you know "Written-offs live longer!......" (Translation of a german saying)

I'd be honoured if you made a copy He has a darling face and was a pleasure to draw. Give him a big hug to thank him for being such a wonderful subject...

Hello.
I just wanted to say sorry for not taking part in any challenges... Please understand me... I don't have ANY time for even reading a book in the evening I'm looking forward to my summer holiday... I guess I will draw day and night then

P.S. Good job everyone!

Good morning everyone!

Thank you all for joining in in this challenge. It was a honor and big fun and joy for me to choose the photos and I am very happy that you liked them.

The results are great - as ever!

Have a nice sundy.


Siks,
I am very sure our challenges should be fun and not stress.

Hi All Great drawings everyone!! Im a bit busy finishing drawing hands for my drawing assignment due in in a couple of weeks,would like to try these challanges out if i get time lol,speaking of which i better go get dinner ready! haha .Nice to see all the lovely drawings All the Best...Tony.

I promise you that all of my drawings that I have posted are from my hand and not from a computer program. I have at times cleaned up specks on the scans of my drawings because they were on the scanner's glass top. I also have to gray scale them and darken them slightly because my scanner turns the scans a very pale blue.

I am posting you an enlarged section of Maya so you can see my scribbles .
