Willow is one of my younger cats, very sweet but shy. She's much fuzzier nowadays :) I found an old photo of Willow as a kitten, lying on this tatty bobbled blanket on an ancient old sofa. I thought a bit of an artistic facelift might be fun, and I wanted to try painting a whole cat rather than just the head.

I made a few ditsy mistakes - left ear was too big, the paws drove me crazy and the eyes ended up slightly too big. I also got lost in the body fuzz for a while, but then hit on the right combination of brushing, smudging and shading to get more realistic fuzz that I liked. The fabric was a bit more awkward at the front, but I didn't want to detail it up to the point where it pulled attention away from Willow.

I'm happy with my results on this picture though, it taught me a lot and overall I think I did a decent job.

I'm not sure how easy it would be to make, but I'd like to try a fur brush which was darker at the "base" the light on the tips. Any new fur brushes you could do would be brilliant though ;)
