The sitting cat was far and away the most popular choice, so I will be making a start on him tomorrow - I am thinking hot press paper - probably fabriano artistico but using the traditional white. I don't think I'l be doing the background on this one though - perhaps that could be a separate tutorial later on. The focus I am going to try to do the cat face - but may resort to just the fur under the chin - just depends on timings.
I'd like to re create the white fur tutorial I have, and I'll use something like the poodle for that and also the black shiny fur - so those will be coming at some point in the next few months.
The beginners tutorial for August will be posted in the next couple of days :)
Thanks as ever for all your wonderful support :)
