Here Comes Trouble

Two Iberian Lynx kittens

This ia a sketch of two Iberian Lynx kittens looking for trouble. It's been sketched using the medium of pastel on pastel paper whilst using a series of beautiful reference photographs taken by Ayala Fishaimer.

Below are a sequence of images that show how I sketched the above Lynx kittens.

I've made a light sketch of the two Lynx kittens

I've added a dappled background and then started on the tail & ears of the right kitten

I'm slowly working on the second kitten's eyes and snout

At my easle working on the kitten's eye

I'm now working from the chin and its ruff, down its body to its leading paw

Now sketching in the elbow and shoulder along with the back leg and paw

Just adding the finishing touches to the first kitten before moving to the other one

My current work station... Pastels and Lynx kittens

I've worked in the left kitten's tail and then I've started on its back leg

Now I'm working on the rump of the second kitten as I move across its stomach

Here I'm using the magnifying light to add some fur

I'm slowly inching my way across the kitten to its front right paw and cheeks

I've added the face and leading paw before filling in some of the ground

Just filling the final touches before signing it off

Now scanned and beautifully framed by Framers Gallery
