Hello friends!
Today I am very happy to show you this drawing that I made with a lot of love, my cat Tommy is like another son to me, the love I have for him is immense and I thought it was a very nice idea to draw him, although I had a long time without painting animals and I was afraid that it would be horrible in the end it came out very nice, I decided to do it with this paint effect because I felt that this way it would be easier to make his fur and I think it worked, besides it has this paint effect finish that I like so much, something that I wanted to highlight a lot in this drawing are his beautiful eyes, Tommy is an orange cat with quite curious eyes, sometimes they look green and other times of a honey color in combination with yellow very gorgeous, he also has a super tender look, with his eyes he transmits me a lot of love, innocence and tenderness, I really feel satisfied with this cat portrait, I hope you like it.
I made the sketch and then I started to fill all Tommy's face with orange, brown, pink, white and very light and pale blue colors, also green and yellow for the eyes, I tried to follow the pattern of his fur but it was very complicated, it's the only thing I feel I failed a little bit, in a new layer I added more colors to give it a better shape and start to mix the colors using a brush with a chalk texture, I didn't really detail too much to not ruin the fur, I feel that the more you detail the less realistic it looks, so I mixed little, in the eyes I worked a lot with different shades of green, blue and also yellow and of course big points of light that are usually reflected in the eyes of the cats.
I changed the background to a dark brown color and then I took colors that I used in the portrait to start giving brushstrokes and achieve even more that painting effect, I also added light details highlighting a little more the eyes, the nose and drawing the whiskers, I hadn't noticed that Tommy has so many whiskers and in fact, I didn't draw more hahaha, finally I made an image editing giving a little more saturation to the drawing.
