Earnest

This project-work-in-progress is called "Earnest" because that's the best defination I have at the moment for this little guy's adorable expression on his face. This is Vinegar, and if you haven't read the previous posts, he's one of my two manic and lovable kittens. This is 8x10 inches on Bristol Smooth paper, done with Prismacolor pencils.
His beautiful innocent eyes were what most encouraged me to draw him; they were done with black, tuscan red, henna, grass green, spring green, kelp green, dark umber, burnt ochre, violet, and indigo blue. The blanket beneath him includes violet, indigo blue, ultramarine, copenhagen blue, and non-photo blue. His face includes a lot of tuscan red, also black, dark umber, light umber, burnt ochre, violet, indigo blue, henna, and peach, and salmon pink.
I'm so excited! My older brother and sister and her amusing husband have come down for Thanksgiving (little squeal/shriek erupts). Gotta go, we're all gonna watch a some video, (*it may be bad, but I don't care!)
*don't care means 50%
Pass out the dark chocolate, milk, oreos, and ben and jerry's icecream, yeah!
Happy Thanksgiving and Happy Blogging everyone!
