Interesting tone you got there. Loving the contrast between tones and tints, maybe its the pencil brand with the smoothness of the paper?

This is CRAZY!!! 7 FREAKING MINUTES. Dude, you are literally so talented. Thank you so much for this tutorial!

[@MagicalBevanna]

I do a lot of wildlife and cats, this looks very like my old Tabby cat Rosie. I had to let her go (she was over 20 years old) last Christmas, as she had stomach cancer. Over the years of sketching and drawing cats, a Tabby cat is one of the hardest to detail. I have a Tombow mono round eraser, that, and my electric one are brilliant for hair details. Thanks for the tutorial, I like to keep my skills up. You're very talented. I enjoy your videos and I always learn something. 😊

Your videos are always so incredibly helpful and motivating. Every time I watch them, I feel like it's possible to become better at drawing. I'm currently trying to draw a cat and was just becoming completely desperate while drawing the ears. You gave me new hope. Let's see what my cat is going to look like in the end...

I like to do landscapes and wild animals. My neighbor likes cats and I'm going to attempt my first house pet for her birthday present. I did a tiger once (very difficult), and I thought they would be similar. I was wrong. Wish me luck! This is a good tutorial. Your drawings always have the realism I'm looking for.

[@afabuloustree7266]

You're the best artist I've ever known. Thank you for this video. I copied the cat you drew with the instructions you've given and it worked like a charm. Well, except my cat looks like a tiger XDm

Whenever he added the lines for the outline of the face, I was just like "No way, those are WAY too big. The thumbnail was definitaly clickbait." Now I think I know what I do wrong when drawing cats.
