A “little” thing as a broken iPad won’t stop me from making art. I made this when the iPad was almost gone.
And the other piece I made with a PETSCII editor on my RPi, based on a piece I did earlier this month.
Not having a backup for my Raspberry Pi makes me a bit nervous, as it should

As Hanna-Barbera cartoons of the eighties have taught us, cats can without most clothes, except the most essential, like a hat or a cane.

While sketching this kitten I wondered how I could do away with all those lines. So I tried to eliminate as much as I dared. I’m sure more could be removed still. However, now the result was pretty “bland.” I suppose color has to do the brunt of the work, and there is too little of that.

Searching on Flickr for Creative Commons photos of kittens I found this cute black and white one. I used it as reference for my C64 hi-res bitmap pixel art drawing.
Sometimes less color is better. Especially if the one depicted is staring into your soul.

I didn’t get to experiment with edges. Still, I drew something I love, so that’s good.
Maybe advice from an oil painter doesn’t translate all that well to pixel art. Pixel art has more in common with decorative art (like embroidery) than with traditional art you can hang on a wall.

Another day, another cat drawing. This time our more blocky version of a feline fellow creature. Sketch in ibisPaint X and final drawing in Commodore 64 multicolor bitmap (160 x 200 resolution, 16 colors). If I could, I’d knit him a cozy sweater.

I found a proper and informal method to add a description to an image,
- figcaption
- emphasis after a line break
Alas, markdown has no code for captions, _nor_ does it work inside an html container.

On Caturday we share our favorite spots to elicit an aww from the resident hooman.

I sat down to relax and it seemed an opportunity for my two Bengal cats to snuggle together next to me. I hadnβt even noticed. The summer is definitely over now.

If I were as eager into doing my garden as my cat is into eating, my garden would’ve been done already. Ah well, lazybones is making some progress now, at the start of meteorological summer. (Sry 4 π ποΈποΈ jobβ¦ LZ.) π

TIL. When a cat grooms another cat, it’s meant to reassure the other cat they are part of the gang, and also that the groomer is dominant over the groomee. It establish social hierarchy without fighting, although if both cats start grooming each other, they might get more serious and play-fight. π±

I should keep drawing animals, and slowly my skill should improve.

The obligatory cat sitting inside and thinking outside the box, ogling for mischief.

To speed things up, I rushed through the tutorial and quickly sketched a portrait of a beautiful cat. Maybe not the best way to learn how to draw, but it is, after all, a challenge.

I got this double cat hammock for Christmas. The cats seem to enjoy it.

One personβs trash is supposedly another personβs Xmas treasure. They were bought on a whim, yet never used. I hope Iβll put them to good use.
