Cat's Eye IV

I have completed a tutorial for this technique (using "Cat's Eye II"), so if you are interested in seeing it, step by step from start to finish, click here!

This is my seventh ATC/ACEO! (I'm officially going to stop counting now!)

"Cat's Eye IV" is an original work (2.5" x 3.5") in Scratchboard, with Acrylic Paint. The technique involves scratching with an X-acto knife, and painting, numerous layers of each. Very fun, but sometimes time consuming!

This card is SOLD - view other cards for sale at ArtCardsWanted.com - click to view Christina's store!

Thanks to everyone who views or comments on this image - I'm having a lot of fun with this ATC/ACEO thing - I strongly recommend it for other artists, if you haven't already tried it! :)

Just a wonderful image ... the blue sky and reflected clouds just give it that extra BAM to make it Amazing.

I just keep sitting here staring at this eye....all the little fine details. It just looks so real and every little hair is placed perfectly. If I hadn't watched your tutorial and saw the progression, I would have mistaken this for a photograph.

Excellent capture ! Wonderful macro. Conghratulations !

Artist Reply: Well, seeing as "macro" and "capture" usually refer to photography, I feel compelled to correct you. :) This isn't a photo... it's scratchboard and acrylic paint. The reference photo was from WetCanvas.com. Thanks for your comment! I love it when people think my art looks photographic!

WOW! Stick with this series... it's remarkable!

Artist Reply: I'm having a blast - and I LOVE doing eyes, so it's perfect for me... however, it seems to be distracting from what I'd like to think is my "real" art... my BIG projects... :)
