#catober day 5, and I am trying this thing of scanning & posting in the middle of the day, after only one shift of drawing is done, with another one still coming up. Feels weird to post before I am "done" with the day, but I hate having the scanning & posting as the last thing I do when I am already sleepy. Would much rather sketch my way to sleep.

#inktober #MastoArt #cats

a page of attempts (lol) at drawing cats from memory or imagination, done in black fountain pen, containing seven sketches overall a page with 3 drawings of cats done in black fountain pen from reference
four sketches of cats done in brown ink, drawn half from imagination half from reference by taking yesterday's skeleton studies and trying to rebuild the whole cats on top of them a page with 3 drawings of cats done in black fountain pen and brush pen from reference


#catober day 4. Today I felt like my mind was a bit more awake than before when I did this morning's mapping of notknowing. Still far away from looking good, but at least looking not-good with more of a 3d feel to them.Then a page with studies after Bammes and Wendling, trying to map yesterday's rough anatomy on how these artists have drawn felines. Then put a sheet of marker paper over yesterday's sketches and tried to work out wtf these cats' skeletons are doing.

#MastoArt #cats

Seven rough sketches of cats from imagination, done in black fountain pen, attempting to imagine several views of overall just two different poses, rotating them in space. Four sketches of very simplified cat skeletons in various poses drawn in blue colored pencil.
Four studies of large cats done in brown ink, two on the left based on drawings of Gottfried Bammes, the two on the right based on drawings by Claire Wendling.  The lower row of drawings has again some rough indications of anatomical structure drawn over in blue and pink colored pencil.


Last of yesterday's #catober pages. This one was fun to do, but also I could feel myself being strongly pulled to doing pretty flat shape based drawing reproducing the references without really understanding their forms in space, in other words without really knowing what I was doing.

I could do this all day and enjoy myself a lot, but I would not be learning much from it, and would be no wiser trying to draw cats from imagination afterwards.

Four drawings of cats in various poses standing, sitting and lying down, done in black ink.


#catober day 3 yesterday. started again by mapping my notknowing, then followed along with the first cat lesson by Joe Weatherly on NMA. Then I tried to apply that first helping of rough anatomical info to some of my sketches from the day before. Last I made a bunch more sketches from ref, and again made some attempts at very rudimentary anatomical analysis.

#ink #cats #MastoArt #drawing

five very rough sketches of cats from imagination, done in almost dried out black felt tip pen. The first sketch has no head and is commented with "NO" The same four ink drawings of cats I had posted yesterday, but now two of those are worked over in blue and red colored pencil indicating some rough anatomical structures, and the drawing in the lower right corner that is just a solid black silhouette has a simplified skeleton drawn in in white colored pencil.
A schematic drawing of a profile view of a jaguar, indicating some very basic anatomical structures, done in blue, pink and black colored pencil, surrounded by notes in pencil. Four sketches of a cougar in black ink, with the top two having some simplified skeletal structures drawn over in blue colored pencil


I still feel like my mind has half forgotten how to think in line, but it got better in the second half of the page of cougars, especially with this one. Here a slightly cleaned up version to make myself feel good:

#cats #ink #art #MastoArt

A sketch of a standing cougar in black brush pen, with clean outlines and some indications of fur and muscles. The cougar is facing to the left, but turning its head to look towards the viewer.


This was #catober day 2 yesterday. Not enough time to do real study, but at least did get the lack-of-knowledge mapping and some cougars from ref in.

#inktober #ink #art #MastoArt #cats

a horizontal A3 page with a sketch of a cat skeleton in the upper left corner, and the rest filled with five more cat sketches, all done in black ink, very scraggly from imagination
four sketches of a cougar from reference, done in black ink brush


A black hole bending the fabric of the universe. #cats #catsofmastodon #caturday
Our only boy cat, Puma, grumpy that I'm interrupting his final nap (by turning the light on to take a picture) before his night watch  for wildlife out the window all night.. He's sleeping on a white duvet with a thin black grid on it. He's super velvety black with green eyes (and a bleached white butthole but you can see that in this pic)


Brief #Introduction, since it seems to be the etiquette around here. Hi! I'm Mel, a PGR at QMUL researching abortion policy implementation in subnational Argentina, through lenses of various geographies, #policy and subnational studies, and literature on #feminist #activism. Expect toots both in #Spanish and #English. Alongside #academicchatter, expect pictures and commentary on #popculture, #cats, #nature and #food, as needed.


@Mr. Funk E. Dude

Hi! Please, replace the word #Mastodon by #Fediverse! We're all a big family much richer than Mastodon alone!

Here, I'm trying to help three little kittens to stay alive, after having helped another one. They didn't show up to eat this time. I'll try again later on. No photos yet.

Thank you!

🙏

People look on ballet dancers as almost superhuman, otherworldly, much like a certain companion species of ours, so perhaps the darling in Pierre Carrier-Belleuse's "Young Ballerina Holding A Black Cat" has good reason to be drawn to her little friend...

Finally I know were all those people get their cat profile pics from.

It's from the artist David Revoy @davidrevoy

He created a cat avatar generator and the utopify.org cat is even sitting in front of a laptop. That's so accurate ❤️

It's a multi-cat #caturday. These four kittens are in a butcher's shop in Essaouira, Morocco and clearly something very interesting is happening just out of frame.

#RetroCaturday #cats #CatsOfMastodon #morocco #photos #photography
Four young cats in a butcher's shop in Morocco. All that can be seen of the shop is the red-tiled and rather muddy floor, a white tiled wall and some battered blue-painted wooden doors. The cats, which are probably only a few months old, are staring intently at something just out of the picture. The smallest cat is orange, while the others are white blotched with other colors -- tabby, gray, orange and black. They all have a somewhat scruffy look.

Heeeey! It's my birthday so I'm reposting one of my favorite drawings from last year - Space scale tragedy 😸
Let us all have a calm and happy weekend.

I was thinking about opening this kind of commissions when I open my store. Does anyone know some strong cardboard packaging so my drawings don't bend during shipping? It's my main problem right now 😅

(By the way, the process of the orange cat drawing is on my Patreon too 😗 🎶)

I've been here on the Fediverse for years, but I realize I'm missing a very important niche of content.

Folks: Where can I find excellent #cats and #CatPics?

Feel free to share your own in the replies. I want to see your cats. Don't forget to add alt text if you do!

Might as well do an #introduction

Name is Carey (@privacat). I am a Senior Catsultant for Castlebridge, a botique data protection consultancy in Ireland.

I think (and post) way too much on #dataprotection, #privacy, #privacyengineering #cats #beer and the #law. I think I'm funny, but YMMV.

Heads up: I am a bit/very sweary.

Come for the cat pics and snark, stay for the privacy & #tech rants and musings on data protection law and #policy.
