"Simon" - Ink and Watercolor
(Approx. 8" x 9 3/4") |
If the cat above looks familiar, you either knew Simon personally or you saw a previous painting I did of him from my post on 12/7/16 entitled "Following a Whim." The painting above was commissioned by a friend who wants to surprise his wife on her birthday.
Below are some versions of Simon as I take him from pencil sketch to the final painting. I used my friend's photo for my reference and then looked online to get more ideas, including options for a colorful and contrasting background.

My pencil sketch. I worked on this for quite a while until I got a sketch I was happy with.

| I then used my Micron 005 pen to ink over the pencil sketch. |

| Looking more like Simon here. ...Need to thicken his tail. |
