A ginger cat, this time. Not the usual cat portrait, but I liked the lighting of the reference photo, so here it is.

Colored pencils on black paper (and damn that - everyone who's tried to take photos of a drawing on black paper knows how difficult it is with all those reflections! I fear that this photo doesn't give the drawing justice, but it's the best I can do...)
