This cat is called Keisha, or rather stunning Keisha. I drew this after getting a request from Cathy who blogs over at Stunning Keisha. It’s quite fitting, for it is a stunning cat! Beautiful fur and eyes.
As for my drawing, I wanted to do something in india ink. It’s a little hard for me to control, so especially on the top of the head, it got too black.. As soon as it’s on the paper, there’s no going back, though, so I have to call this a finished sketch. I think that maybe next time I work in liquid ink, I’ll try to wipe the brush on some paper each time I put on some ink, so it doesn’t get too concentrated.. I love ink sketches.. Here’s some of Rembrandt’s – I really really really enjoy how they so simply makes something so beautiful.. That’s a medium I’d like to master!
It’s more than just a little late here where I am, so I’m heading off to bed..If this not-so-perfect attempt at an ink-drawing hasn’t put everybody off, I’m just going to add that that I’d still gladly accept requests. For now there’s enough for a week or more, but keep them coming!

OMC! I’m stunning! Thank you! I love this and I’m going to share it. xoxo
Thanks a lot 🙂 Glad you like it!
Can you send me a copy of this at stunningkeisha@hotmail.com when you have a chance. Thanks. TW wants to have a framable copy.
I sent it to you 🙂
Sorry. I removed the no follow. I do that automatically since I do a lot of sponsored posts. Thanks for sending the drawing.
Ah okay.. I actually thought it was just copied directly with the link attributes. Let me know how the drawing looks on print – if you need it in a better quality i might be able to take a photo of it in the sunlight.
It doesn’t seem to have worked :/
What a gorgeous picture of CK! Mes gobsmacked!
Kisses

Great, I’ll just send you my email 🙂
She is indeed stunning – in India ink or any other way. Your interpretation sure did her justice.
We have new baby goats on our farm if you’d like to step away from cats. http://brokenteepee.com/2015/04/tales-from-the-goathouse-i-maaaaa-to-you-the-kids-names.html/
I’d love to! And thanks! I’m putting you on the list 🙂
Fantastic. The babies will be thrilled
Wonderful job on the Stunning Keisha…..I think you really did a great job capturing her and the india ink adds a softness I quite like. Bravo (again!!!!!).

Thanks a lot :)..
A great drawing again. You completely have the expression in CK’s eyes. The ink gives a softness that you feel you can touch.
Thanks a lot 🙂
Keisha looks stunning as always.
We would love to have you draw one of us. ~Alasandra, The Cats & Dogs http://atcad.blogspot.com/
Sure – I’m putting you on the list 🙂
you did an amazing job!!! We know all of the kitties you are featuring quite well! Hope you will do us too! http://www.catchatwithcarenandcody.com and http://www.dakotasden.net
Thanks a lot! Sure i will! In fact you’re already on the list 🙂
Oh, wow, we just linked over here from CK’s blog, and this really is *stunning.* Oddly enough, we always thought of India ink as being very dark and not having as much nuance as this. The result is almost like watercolor. (Only India ink is a lot harder to clean up than watercolor, isn’t it?)
We know so many of the kitties you are drawing, and you really have an eye for capturing them! If you aren’t tired of cats as subjects, we would love a drawing of one of us. (http://www.catsherdyou.com)
Yeah it behaves a lot like watercolor – except for it being pretty difficult to get off the paper once it’s on unlike watercolor! Thanks a lot for your comment! Sure, I’ll add you to the list! Do you have any photo in particular that you’d like me to draw? It might be… over a week before i get to do the drawing. My to-do list is growing pretty fast!
Thanks for the information about the India ink. We had no idea!
We’re filling your box right up! Maybe this photo? http://catsherdyou.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Newton_tree_paw_03_wm.jpg There’s no rush, and I totally understand we’re overbooking you with requests! thank you so very much for considering us!
Wow, you really captured CK’s stunning-ness. Beautiful!
There are 3 of us, and we would love if you would draw one of us. Thank you! (http://island-cats.com)
