Painting a cat

My second attempt that I painted a cat on the canvas. I bought Leaf Green and Sapphire acrylic paints from Giant Dollar Store.

Here is my procession.

Click this larger photo if you need to see.

The colors of the cat's eyes are so hard for me! I doesn't get used to painting any eyes' colors. :S

The background was changed since gray looks dull or doesn't fit with other bright colors.

I have one blank canvas. I'm looking forward to painting it when I am ready. :)

Faber Castell Colored Pencils

Three weeks ago, I found National Bookstore website which is a store in the Philippines. It is very popular for art supplies, materials, etc. I was so surprised that it is available for shipping. I was excited to ship, but no cards to order.

I emailed my friend, Abbie to purchase Faber Castell Watercolor pencil and classic color pencil for me. On October 10, she came to Vancouver from the Philippines with her mother and then she met me at the airport. After we went to her aunt's apartment, she gave me colored pencils and I paid her already. I thanked to her very much! I haven't owned any art supplies for about 4 years. I didn't want my friends to lend me any supplies because I know it is tiring to borrow and return if they need.

Here is the Faber Castell Watercolor pencil and classic color pencil.

Luckily, these have free sharpers.

This is Watercolour pencils.


This is Classic colour pencils.


This is just the coloring test, adding

I drew original characters on my sketchpad and colored them. Then, I used

"Hiphop Girl"

"Adam"

"Quest Crew"

These paintings look very light and don't have something very dark. That's okay. You know, Painting was very awful to me when I was a kid. Now I'm still improving. :)
