color study


Here is my digital color study and although it's in final form I am still going to try a traditional version so stay tuned. Here's the original sketch. It's funny, with all the cats I have been drawing lately you'd think I was a cat person but actually I am a dog person. My hubby's allergy to cats is most likey a big reason for that. Don't get me wrong...I love kitties, it's just I am a MAJOR dog-lover!

Another observation I made regarding the chair pattern. I love plaids and polka dots and I realize this pattern may look a bit too traditional or out of style with the current trends but it reminds me of a well loved and worn-in grandpa's chair so I kept the pattern.

Hey Phyllis, I love what has been happening with your style lately. I have really seen you come into your own this past year.

This is such a sweet piece. I actually love the chair and what you said is exactly what my first thought was: a well loved chair at Grandma & Grandpa's house. The exchange between the girl and her kitty is spot-on, and I love her size in comparison to the chair.

Can't wait to see the traditional version, since I am usually more partial to traditional media.

This is beautiful, Phyllis! I like the limited palette which you pulled off so well. Your style is sweet in the best possible way. Very, very, nice! You are very prolific too!

Awww!! You did a fantastic job on this one! I love her face and how happy the kitty looks! Like Kate said above, it looks like a well loved chair at Grandma and Grandpa's house! :) Keep it up!
