Cat Art, Apollo-handsome oriental cat.

I created this portrait of Apollo my friends white oriental cat, using Prisma Coloured Pencils, on watercolour paper.

I just Copied from Photograph, the original is A1...
The photo was just normal size photo.

I love portraiture, both human and animal kind, I especially like to draw and paint cats..

I am at present painting animal portraits for friends and on commission, but first I always create for myself as I need to be creative almost daily..

maybe I see myself as next cat-man Drew.. He of the famous and lovely Cat art..

I also like to use other mediums to craete art, I am teaching myself how to use tablet and my corel painter, not as easy as i first thought..
Thank you all for looking at this artwork..

Hugs from,
Lillyana Antoneavic..

Editors note:

What a wonderful work! Fur is such a difficult item to depict, yet you have made this appear like I can just reach out and feel the soft texture of this kitty. Cat art is also a wonderful niche. Cat's have been with us for so long, and even worshiped in earlier history.

Your command of colored pencil is well presented here. Keep up the great work!
