I tried drawing the whole cat body today.
From today’s practice, I learned that:
A: I can draw the whole body precisely enough using a ballpoint pen and about 15cm square paper without trouble. I was wondering if I might need to use a larger paper but looks like this paper size is good enough for drawing the whole body.
B: Most of excellent cat drawings are with a pencil or colored pencils. These mediums are excellent for expressing mid tone and I suspected that the same thing would not be possible with a ballpoint pen. BUT it looks like it is!
But I realise I am facing a new challenge here.
There are some different types of tabby cats. How can I express them separately in monochrome???
Well, the study goes on…

Thank you, Denise! That’s true 
Great question Maki. Sorry I can’t help, although, I am interested in the answer! I’m a coward when it comes to INK.

Hi Judy, thank you for your comment
I’ve been working on a grey kitten for some days and looks like I can figure out how to draw a ginger tabby and silver tabby separately. I have to draw tons of lines for a cat with darker color which I find a bit exhausting, but it is fun to see the cat’s presence getting more and more substantial.
I will share the grey kitten result once complete
Thank you, Maki. Looking forward to the final result.
