Art Contest Week 159 (1).png

I will preface this by saying that I am absolutely NOT an artist. I enjoy drawing with my kids, who are much better artists than I could ever dream of being! I may not be talented at art, but I do have a very dear love for Byzantine Kitty, my favorite card ever. As anyone who knows me knows, Kitty has a special place in my heart, and I yearn for the day that I am finally able to buy her! After a wicked losing streak after the end of season, I decided to take a much needed break to do some art with my kids. (And to let my ECR recover!) I wanted to capture the essence of Kitty, the sweetness and fluffiness. I decided to draw her as a house-cat instead of a winged cat. (Mostly because I didn't think I could do the wings justice! lol) I think I did an alright job!

I started out by sketching a rough drawing of Kitty with a pencil.

Then, I started to fill the drawing in with oil pastels. I was hoping to capture the fluffiness of her fur with the oil pastels, which are really nice for showing texture and blending colors.

I wasn't able to capture the stars in her eyes, but that's ok! I'm pretty happy with how her sweet face turned out. I continued to fill in the colors, at which point I seriously messed up the tail!

As you can see, the tail looks terrible! But as my favorite artist, Bob Ross, would say, it was a "happy little accident." I decided to disguise the damaged tail by making a colorful background! (Sorry, no happy little trees!)

Its not perfect, but it is sweet and I poured my heart into it! I hope that you all enjoy seeing my sweet little Byzantine Housekitty. <3
