Overall Thoughts

Overall, I’m rather pleased with how the cat generally turned out, although I think I probably made a lot more mistakes, percentage-wise, with this than with previous paintings. It was a lot harder too, but I like the subject matter more as well 🙂 I’m pleased with how the eye and the muzzle turned out, but the backside and legs (and really, the rest of the body) still needs work, for sure!

If I were to start this painting over right now, what would I do differently?

• Separate the brushes! I keep accidentally grabbing a shadows brush when painting lights. That pollutes the colors, over time.
• I think I need to create a habit where I always put shadows on the left of the table, and lights on the right, just like they are placed on the palette. I’ve been thinking of investing in a paintbrush holder at some point, just dangling them on the edge of the box or a random plastic thingamabobber is just asking for me to get my table dirty. Which I have. A few times. Luckily small enough splots that I could quickly wipe them up with a soapy rag.
• Also, try harder on the edges and corners of the background, I know it’s not AS important, but it’s still nice to have the skill of drawing a straight line when necessary.
