Sketchbook Page-3 (and cover)


Jobin, The Mad Catter
ballpoint pen, 2013
page 8.25" x 5.5" (20.955cm x 13.97cm)

The nature of sketchbook pages is that not all ends up good and there are a couple dreadful ones on this page but that is ok.

I'm experimenting with seeing how far I can distort the forms before I lose the cat. The top left for example looks more like a chihuahua or bat and borders on being too cute.
Trying to find a non-representational version of the cat while avoiding cute and cartoony is not that easy, at least for me.

    No! Not cute at all!
    Full of mystery, mischief, and suspense! Even a bit scary!
    Nice David!

      Hi Michael,
      Thanks, glad you think so. Feedback from fellow artists is always good.
      What you said... "Full of mystery, mischief, and suspense! Even a bit scary!".
      That is exactly the personality of said cat.

      Keep painting...
