Two Romantic cats....for St Valentine's Day

two_romantic_cats_for_st_valentineTwo Romantic cats in love, by a tree.

This is obviously created for st Valentines Day.
The colour version was painted first, in photoshop to a A4 size in january 2011. I was quite pleased about the way it turned out, and looks quite cute. I think that the bows do add a lot to the cuteness and help to define the two sexes.
The black and white image was done about two weeks later. It has been done for presentation at a local arts society and needed to be B/W, with no grey tones, for easy reproduction in the news letter. It is a tracing, in photoshop again A4, of the colour image, and has come out quite well and still retains the character of the cats.


from the website...
Two romantic cats are shown in this digital illustration, sitting together by a tree. It always seems appropriate to portray a male cat as black and white in colour, and a female one as white. The coloured bows help with their sweetness and their sex identification. I wanted to have a soft feeling through the painting so it is set in the evening light.
This was painted in photoshop in 2011.
