#Caturday Archives: 64

Going back to January 2018, our dear Little Ming died and I posted a lot of the drawings I had done of her throughout the 17 years she was with us… read the original post here.

Back to January 2018 again for this week’s #Caturday sketchbook archive, a couple of pen sketches of Little Ming, our one-eyed fluffy tortoiseshell rescue cat relaxing.

Here’s another little drawing of Sparta Puss from September 2017. I did a lot of sketching with a Markers app on my Samsung Galaxy Note 8 back then, until I got bored with it and went back to analogue. I’ve never gone back.
