Art is my favourite hobby. ✏️

🤗

It’s been many years since I made time to draw…

But I’ve decided to get back into it! 🤩

I still have a lot to learn…

And a lot of practise to do…

But here goes… 🤞

This sweet SAFE Avon Valley kitty from Kellerberrin is my current subject.

Hello Mistletoe! 👋

She came into Freedom’s care just before Christmas…

With 11 others from her colony! 😲

Then in January, another 13 arrived!! 😱

That’s what happens when colonies get out of control. 😬

Not surprisingly, Mistletoe was very underweight initially. 😢

But she’s a healthy girl now, somewhat on the shy side… who loves to be tenderly stroked while she’s dining. 😽

I began the drawing by asking Colin to print out a black and white A4 copy of the photo.

(He speaks ‘printer’ better than I do. 😉)

Then I chose which paper best suited the mediums I was planning on using…

Graphite and my all time favourite, carbon!

🖤

My Huon lightbox allows me to faintly pencil in the main ‘landmarks’, meaning I spend less time on getting proportions accurate, and more time on what I enjoy most…

Everything else haha. 👍

Teddy Bear has been keeping me company, of course.

And often bumps the pencil, causing some interesting marks on Mistletoe’s face lol. 😁

I’ll be sharing my progress over the next week…

And the finished drawing will be available to download for $2 through SAFE Avon Valley.

All proceeds will go towards the care of Mistletoe and her mates. 💯
