Artist's Comments

Pencil drawing of my cat looking in the mirror.

The reflection's face is bugging me, will improve it when I get the time to do it

~ What can I do with the background to make it more striking?
~ Any hints or tips for future reference?

There's just something about this that makes me go "aww!!".

Hmm, I can't really think of any feedback. But maybe try and make the background a bit darker? Not all that sure though. You know more about stuff like this than I do. :giggle:

They look so cute, fuzzy and huggable! The one thing that is bothering me is that it doesn't actually look like a reflection. I like the blue in it! I think it's pretty good other than that!

Fuckin badass...
the only thing that catches my attention is the mouth of the cat in the foreground. something weird. i dont know what it is. maybe the reference looked exactly like that and i dont like cats.
maybe multiple reflections, like when two mirrors face each other, could be portrayed with thousands of cats reflected. or a changing room reflection with tons of different angles in the background.

Wow thats great! The only thing i see wrong with the reflection is that there seems to be a small indent above its left eye, but that could be the way your model looked... Also its a little hard to tell its a reflection, so i would say add an object that is clearly reflected? But anyways, overally awesome job ^^

Amazing. Simply amazing =3
One thing that bothers me about it is that the cat isn't looking at itself. Another is that the cat seems to be frowning.
I also couldn't tell the reflection was a reflection. My suggestion is to add in a mirror frame =3

She's actually looking at something else, but I understand what you're saying...maybe I should draw another one where she is looking at the viewer (in the mirror), that could be striking...

Thanks for the feedback!!

How can I add that though? Should I make the background darker?

You have beneficially made my day :lmao: I'm glad you like it...

That mouth almost drove my to insanity, cos I thought it looked stupid too, but I blamed my brain for being tired instead (it was 2am)

Thats an awesome idea!! Think I may just try it :evillaugh: I'll credit you of course
