I don't draw a lot of animals so I decided to do a couple weeks of gesture drawings of animals and I started with some cats. The final pose here came out a little cross eyed and the body isn't as far along as I would have liked but this was my first attempt at painting a cat and for a first try this isn't so bad.

A portrait of Despair from the Sandman comics. I think that she kind of got the short end of the stick in those comics. She seems like an interesting character but she was never to vital to the story and never really got much time in the spot light. This took a while to do but I'm not sure how long.
