Drawing cats


I have been drawing cats for a while. I didn't notice that most of my drawings are from sleeping cats. Someone told me that it's easier to do it that way, they don't move. Well, yes, they tend to keep in a position for long before changing it. But, in fact, that is not the reazon. I tend to draw them while I'm also in bed, so we are, cat and artist, enjoying the bed relaxing, thing that cats do very well.

I have worked in the zoo, near San Luis, at Mexquitic, drawing a beautiful linx. I love those cats, but it is very difficult, because they keep on moving around. The advantage is that their movement is repetitive (poor little things), so you just have to wait that the cat returns to the same spot.

I was wondering today, couldn't it be great if I work on cat drawings (and paintings) more? I think so, I'm going to give it a try.
