My cat Jerry had a wonderfully expressive face, and this drawing captures one of those unmistakable feline looks that seem to speak for themselves.
Working from a photograph I took, I concentrated on his narrowed eyes, distinctive markings, and slightly disapproving expression. Using loose, directional pencil strokes, I explored the shadows and textures of his fur while preserving the spontaneity of a sketch.
Rather than creating a fully detailed portrait, I wanted to capture a particular moment of Jerry's personality — one of those looks that every cat owner knows so well.
