I did wonder why you hadnt done cats

make sure you put your web addy on the Tshirts too

Wibblechick · « **Reply #33 on:** March 27, 2009, 17:16:54 PM »

It really is beautiful and deserves to be shown off -

Again, thank you so much

Indys Mamma · « **Reply #32 on:** March 27, 2009, 17:08:46 PM »

hey

Now Wibblechick has received her mail

I can unveil these, my newest suncatcher designs

Firstly, a stylized portrait of Chloe and Mr T that I sent to Wibblechick

And I am happy to report that it is apparently the cats whiskers

and the second design

Which still needs a bit of work, primarily the cat is going fully ginger as I kinda forgot... no white ink

so it looks a little odd actually made
Am also looking at getting them printed onto tshirts for me to wear to cat shows etc

I keep telling him that he should turn professional and sell some of his work to help out and pay the mortgage but it's just a hobby thing with him, you know how it is with these "artistic" temperament types

BTW just noticed your sig, I've picked my pensioner (my mum) and she's coming over for lunch on Saturday

Cheers

Leigh

ahah!

sorry wrong type of pensioner but your mum would be very welcome Leigh

Alfredo has an amazing eye for detail, he can even paint in the middle of the night, generally he prefers natural light, and his "Lonely lampost - glowing gnome at midnight" composition has, IMO, a spooky, surreal feel to it.

Cheers

They are great

Nice one Leigh, love it

Frankie and Alfie

LeighK · « **Reply #21 on:** March 26, 2009, 11:37:32 AM »

Hi, that looks great,

When I read the title of the posting I got confused and thought it was about art BY cats in which case I was going to post this watercolour portrait of Frankie that Alfie knocked up in a few idle hours whilst I was at work the other day:

The artist "Alfredo" at work:

Cheers

if anyone is in the right area at the right time .....this should be a good Arty Crafty event

Zenith (Liz) · « **Reply #19 on:** March 25, 2009, 23:23:45 PM »

I love drawings especially when you show action poses as you can really imagine the movement of the puds

Wibblechick, do you mind PM'ing me your daughter's website?

Thanks for the dalmation compliment. I found my old sketchbook a few months ago and I will make time soon and draw again I hope

I like this collie I drew aged 13 in the same sketchbook but as I was only in year 8 I used HB pencil on shiny paper then got a brown colouring pencil and butchered the drawing!

I won't hijack your cat art thread anymore as they aren't cats. I can't draw them, as evidenced by this

Aww

He is growing up fast

Indys Mamma · « **Reply #17 on:** March 25, 2009, 10:18:14 AM »

had a website but my server went down and took it with it... and can I find the backup? of course not lol

Am kinda working on a new one though

will get there eventually

after I finish the garden etc

oh I know this isn't a drawing but is an arty photo of Misha (in my bath)

Wibblechick · « **Reply #16 on:** March 25, 2009, 10:05:36 AM »

Its not easy is it .... Do you have a Website? I know Anne - my daughter - has picked up work through hers

Its her first attempt at a Website but seems to have been relatively easy to set up and profitable. If nothing else, I can keep up with what she is up to

Indys Mamma · « **Reply #15 on:** March 25, 2009, 10:00:42 AM »

I have been drawing since I could hold a pencil, according to my parents my first recognisable picture was our dog when I was 2 (a circle with 4 legs and a big tongue

)

I love digital drawing because you can tweak it so easily without starting over, I also love the clean lines, modern looking stuff like the pictures I am working on. Have been training in art/design since I was about 13, knowing then I wanted a creative job... alas yet to find one in Animation or Design

Wibblechick · « **Reply #14 on:** March 25, 2009, 09:54:47 AM »

Its facinating - my daughter is a visual artist and teaches art - there are so many different mediums that were not available when I was learning. Digital art for example. Might be wrong to post her website address cos Im not trying to advertise, but if any one is interested I could PM

Indys Mamma · « **Reply #13 on:** March 25, 2009, 09:48:21 AM »

I base them on a mix of my cats and google images (for poses my boys refuse to do) just so I know I am getting the proportions accurate. I can draw them free hand but they don't have the realism in pose and movement I like

Wibblechick · « **Reply #12 on:** March 25, 2009, 09:36:44 AM »

Thank you - and more than worth waiting for !

Do you base your cat pictures on your cats or is it just a gift for drawing kitties ?

Edit - "just" is hardly the right word - but you know what I mean I hope

Indys Mamma · « **Reply #11 on:** March 25, 2009, 09:32:16 AM »

updated with the image

sorry

I can't make the picture work - I just get a little box in the corner of a frame - the box has an X in it

nor I

Janeyk · « **Reply #9 on:** March 25, 2009, 09:23:08 AM »

Great pics IM & Zenith

well done! I can't draw like that on my puter only by hand. I once tried to draw a diagram of the brain for my OU course and I just had to do it by hand, photo it and transfer to puter. Does it take alot of practise?

Indys Mamma · « **Reply #7 on:** March 25, 2009, 00:26:06 AM »

I draw entirely on the computer these days, hence the smooth lines

Illustrator has brush settings so I can tell it to imitate ink or a paintbrush (as I have done here) to make it a little less like plain digital art

here's todays effort

since I am having issues with my hands am relying heavily on undo until I get it right

that dalmation is soooo good! looks like he's about to bound off any second!

{Edit} as photobucket hates me it seems have attached instead

Zenith (Liz) · « **Reply #6 on:** March 24, 2009, 22:51:40 PM »

Well done it's really nice

How do you get the lines so be so smooth?

Bear in mind I drew this in year 8 hence the freaky paws and the fact I used HB pencils on shiny paper

but i've always done rather rough outlines in my drawings, If I try to create lovely clean lines I lose all sense of proportion

I wish I still felt artistic, I want to draw again!

Wibblechick · « **Reply #5 on:** March 24, 2009, 15:25:44 PM »

Thats lovely! Well done

Super, I love it.
I started Illustrator at school but find it very difficult

Indys Mamma · « **Reply #1 on:** March 24, 2009, 01:05:11 AM »

My hands have been fairly steady today

little to no shaking and grip actually working... so I grabbed the opportunity to do some drawing :D

Here's the results

drawn in Adobe Illustrator, coloured in Photoshop

hope you like her
