I did this piece of artwork using ink for the background and acrylic for the cats. I started this idea thinking that I would draw the view of the backyard from my house in Russia. Once I was almost finished I realized that the painting was very bland and decided to spice it up. There are many homeless cats in our backyards that the people feed, so I decided to include them in my painting. I made the cats in color because I wanted them to stand out. The cats add life to the artwork. Of course there are mistakes, I realized that the bike in the background is almost the size of the car and the car itself isn't very realistic. I had trouble drawing some of the cats too, especially the pouncing kitten. I'm thinking about doing some practice drawing cat figures in different poses.
* just a quick update, I recently entered this into the scholastic art and writing competition and it got gold. Yay!
