  2. Here come the last 10 of my #catober drawings, the ink blobs worked over with mostly colored pencil. All of them are now up in my shop ko-fi.com/playinprogress/shop

  3. [edit: this one has sold :)]

    More of the reworked ink blob cats for #catober day 31, all of these now up in my shop ko-fi.com/playinprogress/shop

    Ok tired now rest will have to wait for tomorrow. And yes I totally got the date wrong when dating the first few things I finished yesterday, but the drawings don't mind :)

  4. I will add more drawings to the shop in the coming days, so if there is anything you're particularly fond of let me know and I will make sure to prioritize it.

  5. Yesterday I was still a bit tired so thought I would just quickly work into one or three of the ink blobs. Which of course ended with me adding some details to all 20 of them...so here are the reworked ink blob cats for the last day of #catober.

    ...aaaaand a wee little webshop with the first batch of them already uploaded :) ko-fi.com/playinprogress/shop

    [boosts very welcome!]

  6. doing these really feels more like playing a game, including the dynamic of "just one more...just...one...more..." and I only stop once it becomes hard to find more horizontal drying spaces within easy reach 😅

  7. Because of the time pressure and no fussing around these go really quickly, I made 20 in the time between dinner and going to bed.

  8. Ink blobbing is great (in this case: first making the shape of the cat as a clear water puddle on the paper, then dropping ink into it), it has built-in anti-boredom properties, like the time pressure that comes from only being able to work the blob while still wet, as well as the ink always doing a surprising delightful weird whatever it is it wants to do.

  9. ...and yesterday I was still bored, so for #catober day 30 I decided to make a bunch of loose ink blobs instead of the serious structural studies. Still cats though, and still in ink.

  10. #catober days 27 to 29 I was bored, OH GOD SO BORED with drawing cats, all mammals really, it felt like they are all the same, all the same skull-spine-thorax-pelvis, all femur and tibia and just tiny variations, and how I miss drawing invertebrates or at least birds or even just random stuff. Even architecture, artifacts, non-organics. Anything other than mammals. Crabs! I wanted to paint crabs so badly. But I also wanted to finish catober, so here a bunch more cats.

  11. #catober day 26 started with a page of knowledge gap mapping from imagination, then some construction studies after Joe Weatherly. I tried to reproduce each of them from memory immediately after making them (so, first study - memory sketch, second study - second memory sketch) and found it interesting how much better the whole body one worked than the Lynx head. But then I am much more familiar with general cat construction at this point than I am with Lynx heads, so it does make sense.
