#Caturday Archives: 53

Here’s the late, great one-eyed Little Ming for this week’s #Caturday sketchbook archive, she was a very hairy tiny tortoiseshell cat that we rescued from neglect. Poor thing nearly died and spent several nights in the vet’s hospital and had to have an eye removed because her “owner” had neglected her so much. She wasContinue reading “#Caturday Archives: 53”

Can you believe it’s come round again! It’s #Caturday Saturday and here’s Sparta Puss back in September 2016, “helping” me when I was sketching Husb. She likes to “help” a lot, particularly in the garden. I plant things, she pulls them back up. And clean laundry too, needs helping by being lolled upon while I’mContinue reading “#Caturday Archives: 49”

It’s #Caturday Saturday again and here’s another cat sketch from my sketchbook archives, May 2016. Sparta Puss was moving around a lot so I only managed to draw her head. She was about 7 years old here, and always quite the tyrant. I have three linocut prints in the Miniprint Cymru Wales exhibition in Mostyn inContinue reading “#Caturday Archives: 48”

It’s #Caturday Saturday again and here’s another cat sketch from my sketchbook archives, January 2016. This is a very quick sketch as she didn’t stay still for long when she was awake back in those days. She was a mere 7 years old then, this Autumn she’ll be 17. And still as feisty as sheContinue reading “#Caturday Archives: 46”

It’s #Caturday Saturday again and here’s another cat sketch from my sketchbook archives, December 2015. It’s “Puss’n’Boot“, or Sparta Puss and my walking boot, with my foot in it. I was chilling with my feet up and Sparta Puss snuck in and made herself comfy so I scribbled her. I have three linocut prints inContinue reading “#Caturday Archive: 44”

Here’s a digital drawing of Sparta Puss from May 2014, when she was coming up to 5 years old. The nice thing about sketching on my Galaxy Tablet Note 8 is that I could hit the “save” button regularly and make a record of the stages of the drawing. I used a Markers free appContinue reading “#Caturday Archives: 25”

Back about a decade ago I went through a phase of drawing on a Galaxy Tablet using a free “Markers” app. This is a digital sketch of a young Sparta, she was about 4 and a half years old here. She’s 16 this Autumn.

Here’s a very old sketch of the late, great Bobbit. We had her as a kitten of 8 weeks way back in the summer of 1994, and this sketch is from 2011, when she was enjoying the sun by dozing in a drain! She died a few weeks later aged 17, enjoying the sunshine andContinue reading “#Caturday Archives: 22”
