Two little witches


 This peice is inspired by a draw this in your style from the secret beauty drawings on Instagram.  They have a wonderful series of drawings following Wilma and Carl the cat. I drew them with their friend Jennifer and her dog. They are all flying in the night sky which i drew in a starry night by Van Gogh style. I painted the original base colour in watercolours and them scanned in to add details and other colours. I am enjoying this style of working as it find it pretty quick but still super effective.

Santa paws is coming to town

Santa paws is who visits all the pets and animals around the world to deliver their presents.  This year i got my cat some licky lix that are turkey flavoured as she loves her daily licky lix even though she's meant to be on a diet but she's a little treat and she's done really well with her diet. 

If you have a pet, do you get them a Christmas present?

felix and bolt the Huddersfield Station cats

This is a watercolour painting of the most famous names in Huddersfield. Its felix the cat and bolt the cat. They live at the train station and everyone loves them. I've painted them on the train station platform as a train is pulling in. The train station as iconic blue painted doors and big windows and is made of stone.  The front of the station is also beautiful. Its very pretty with tall pillars.

are you bored of the puns yet?

Are you bored of the puns yet? I hope not, I'm definitely not finished with my pun obsession yet. Howd you like these ones? The top one is slightly different to the others but I like it. The "nuts about you" one is my favourite which is your favourite?

-you're out of this world 
-I be-leave in you
-you are a-meow-zing
-I'm nuts about you

The Cat verse The Vacuum. A True Story. A Comic Strip.


This fun little comic strip is based on my cat called Tizzy. Tizzy hates the vacuum cleaner so much and its very funny. She's a pretty lazy and overweight cat but when the vacuum cleaner gets turned on she is the fastest little cat you've ever seen. She'd give Usain Bolt a run for his money when she gets the zoomies. Vaccing the house more often does wonders for her weight loss regime along with her special diet food. This is my first comic strip I've ever done and I hope you like it. I would love to create more little comics and have some ideas so look out for them in the future.

2 little cats

This pet portrait was a very belated birthday present for my big sister. After doing my previous painting of Tizzy and loving how it turned out, I wanted to do another. Since I owed my sister a late present, I wanted to give her something special and from the heart. This one is of Tizzy who is our current cat and the other cat is Kiri who was our previous cat who we sadly lost to heaven in 2017. These cats are so different in look and personality but i think that is what makes having a pet so wonderful as each one is so special and they all have their quirks like every human. This again was done on watercolour paper and its pretty much A3 but a little smaller. It was done with watercolours and pastel pencils. I used a green watercolour wash in the background as both their eyes are quite greeny so I feel like the green background makes their eyes pop. Luckily my sister loves the piece and that made me very happy and it is making me feel more confident with more realistic work and I  really should do much more as it definitely does make my stylised work better and I hope you all can see that too.

A Cat called Tizzy

My cat, Tizzy, really doesn't like cameras being put in her face but one day when she was hiding from the scary vacuum cleaner in the bathroom, I got a brilliant full body photo of her. With this photo I decided to work on watercolour skills and my detailed realistic skills since I tend to focus on very fun stylised work especially since finishing alevel art in 2018. I love working with watercolours and always have so it was my obvious choice to work with for this pet portrait. The painting is on A3 watercolour paper. Since she is a very white furred cat it's tricky to get her to look really fluffy so I used grey watercolour and grey pastel pencils to lightly make her look as fluffy as possible and I think it turned out well. The blue watercolour wash in the background represents her favourite toy which is a blue flamingo with catnip inside and a little bell. Tizzy doesn't look the happiest in the drawing as she gives this grumpy judgy look when there is no room for her on the sofa. She really is the sweetest little cat and we love her very much. This painting is up on my parents wall in their landing and replaced a tardis crayon art I did back in 2016. I really enjoyed doing this pet portrait and would love to try lots more in the future (the next post is also a pet portrait so watch out for that) but i would love to practice more and maybe evem do pet portrait commissions if that is anything that interests you or anyone you know.

cinedraw part 4

Day 4 was drama so I chose this wonderful classic Breakfast at tiffany's. I stylised Audrey Hepburn and her little cat in the film. I have out this piece on redbubble so if you want to buy it you can!!! I love Hepburn so much, she is so beautiful and amazing, I'm glad I get to live in a time where I can watch all her wonderful films anytime I want.
