Manhattan

This is a back-dated post for my archive project, where I am copying over every piece of art I have ever submitted to DeviantArt, with the original submission date or watermarked year stamp, so a complete archive of my work can be found on this website.

Original photo is cat.20 by ~keilyann, of a cat named Manhattan. (link no longer valid)

I drew this piece partially as an experiment to see how much time it took to draw a piece if the paper color was to be the dominant color in the final piece. All I had to draw were the highlights and the eyes, so it went very quickly.
