"KC" The Kitty Cat - Pencil Sketch

Several months ago, I started encountering a
little kitty cat while working in my back yard.

Like most cats — she kept her distance and if I drew
very close to her — she'd quickly bound away.

Since I've always liked cats and had them
as pets — I consider myself a bit of a 'cat-
whisperer' — so I'd softly talk to her and move
slowly each time I got close to her.

One day, after our first few meetings, I went out
to draw and came up with this sketch — influenced by my
new little friend and wary look she'd been giving me.

As I worked — I decided to place her
in a night-time, city-scape — which seemed to suit
the over-all feel better than a leafy back yard.
