Thirty of them, to be precise. I started reading another drawing book called Drawing Lab and the first exercise is to draw 30 cats. I numbered them so you can tell my progress. I think I was supposed to do this in about 10 minutes but I took about 40. It was fun. Some of these I actually like. Some of them are embarrassing. Number 15 looks like a pug, #24 looks like a Weeble, and #6 looks like he has a worm problem. Only the Weeble quality was intentional. Which are your favorites?
Some mornings I wake up from this dream about a friend I haven't seen in 20-odd years, and my chest feels hollowed out with longing for him, for that connection. It feels deliciously right and disappointingly sad at the same time. It's a mystery.

#10, 12 and 13 are my favorites...but maybe that's just because I'm sleepy. Or I wish my cat was sleepy...particualy at 3am.

hi priti,
ReplyDeletethanks for the comment. I also like those, esp. #12, since he's smiling in his sleep.
I love cat 8 and cat 31.
ReplyDeletemy doggie looks like cat 8 sometimes except when her ears flop out they are more like bat ears.
These are cute.
