June Tunes 2023 #2: Curious Cat

Martin · 350 days (4:39 PM · Jun 2, 2023)

This June Toon was inspired by a cat my son and I spotted earlier today on a walk. It seemed a bit hesitant about us at first, but then curiosity got the better of it and it bounded toward us to investigate. It was very friendly!

I liked the subject enough, but I wasn't really feeling inspired by this one at first (and you can see that I changed course drastically after the first version of the sketch). Once I got colors in, I started warming up to it. As this project progresses, I hope I can get a little more loose/wild with the linework, though.

This one was especially tough because I was working on it in between sets of my workout routine, and the slight sweatiness on my hands made it hard to make smooth strokes across the iPad screen.

Anyway, this was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Syrup brush for linework, and the Soft airbrush and Decimals brush for some detail work.

If you'd like to see how I drew this one, you can watch the time-lapse below:
