I drew this cat from a magazine clipping for cat food when I was 16. It also won Best of Show at the Arizona State Fair Young Artist Contest for charcoal/conte, and a Second Place in my high school art show. The cat was originally looking up at a canary in a cage, but I took the bird out and left the cat. Done in conte, on textured light brown paper. Sorry about the flash, it looks so much better without it . . .

This is great, you really nailed the texture of the fur, the way it blends in and overlaps the colours below, and at 16 too!

Artist Reply: Thank you Ruth! Yeah, I was very surpirzed that it turned out as good as it did when I finished with it. Compared to the other work I did at 16, this is probably the most exquisite.
