#catober day 18 back to my favorites for some simple sphynx cat fun from reference

#MastoArt #ink #inktober #cats

three drawings of hairless sphynx cats sitting and standing, done in black fountain pen, with various degrees of hatching, from none to rather detailed stipling

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.

#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.

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:

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.

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

So my #inktober will be a #catober, with the goal of doing a deep dive into cat anatomy and construction, and bridging the gap between my #cat drawings from ref or direct observation and those from imagination.

Here where I was yesterday drawing from ref, feeling rusty because my summer was many things but focused on drawing it wasn't.

Also, sphynx cats are just the coolest.

Big Pen doesn't want you to know this, but you can LITERALLY just use a knife to open up pigment liners and brush pens, and then pour in your cheap-ass pigment ink!

Open your PENS people! (And remember NOT to use India Ink)

A little #introduction of my great love of #ink drawing that's developed over the past few years.

Especially love ink waterfalls!
