Tomsk
Graphite pencil

Let me introduce you to my latest pet portrait – Tomsk.

I have a lovely friend whose birthday is coming up in May, so I decided to draw her a portrait of a cat (and in the process add another portrait to my portfolio). Hence, the latest addition to the Blackwell studio – Tomsk.

Tomsk is a very handsome boy – even my Border Terriers approve. They told me to bring him round so that they could introduce themselves, but I didn’t trust the crafty smirks on their faces. We left it at that.

During the artistic process I found Tomsk quite tricky to draw, with all that fur and with him being a white moggy. I certainly learnt a few tricks along the way though, and I am hoping that my friend will like him too. Do let me know what you think!

Medium – Graphite pencil on Watercolour paper
