Cattember 2019

During September 2019 I decided to partake in another drawing challenge. As I had just finished drawing different dog breeds for a month, I decided in the name of fairness I should draw cats for a month. Though, I wanted to change things up and not just focus on breeds, so I followed a second prompt list with a random word which would help stage the image.

Two cats snuggled, they're mostly white with colour on their head and ears and tails only. The way they're lying they take the shape of a heart, their tail creating the pointed edge of the heart.
