"Mad Cat" by Cynthia ´Arthemis´ Smit

Date: December 2007
Medium: pencil and Photoshop

The mad cat, one that doesn’t belong in Alice in Wonderland. This is not inspired by the story. This one is not inspired at all. This was (and in a way still is) a doodle started in front of the television. As usual I started with the eye, I most usually do. I used some of the techniques I learned at the course Illustrative Drawing, but the hatching isn’t visible now. But that’s on purpose. I liked this to be ‘black-white’. The subject in simple contrast and the background to be really busy, so that you couldn’t quite catch the picture. Background was fairly simple too, because of the standard brushes of Adobe. So in total this is a simple picture. But I like it because it represents my doodlings and abstract style.
