Cat Studies

Maybe a little dark. If you made the lines white, it would be better.😁

Hi, Maddie. I'm Polyvios, and how are you doing today? Say, greatest job on your organic exaggeration of your cats. Reminds me of the Chinese and Czech paintings of animals. But, the cat on the upper right corner of the piece looks too darkest compared to all the other cats. So, in order to achieve the broadest range of values, kindly invest in a desk lamp, then shine it on one of your wooden forms, to achieve the most strongest range of values. Let's hope this helps.

Beautiful. Wish I had some critique, but I'm just finding myself in awe of your grasp of shadows and a cat's anatomy. Very well done!

I don't have points of improvement for you, sorry, very good piece of work:

This cat is so cute, shading is great, lines are dynamic, in arcs, I especially like the cat seen from back on the left: looks like mine. Also the fur is well drawn.

I really like the weight and volume expressed. Without the image reference this might be out of turn, but if it's the same cat for the upper and lower images you've lost some of the volume of the tail and the structure of the legs.

the most developed images on the left and right have more of an idealized proportion that strikes me as chubbier than the real life version. In particular the toes which suggest more of a fantastical proportion with bobcat like legs.

I really like the ear attachments, especially for the facing away head.

Without the image ref I'm not sure what else I can comment on for the images themselves. For your rendering the only other thing I could suggest is experimenting with giving yourself two distinct brushes for your primary outlines and another for secondary details. Just thinking about choosing one or the other is an exercise I enjoy. I gives an opppurtunity for a second look - with a different mindset - a last pass to suggest fur direction and make whiskers appear more fine.
