Learning to Draw: Cats with Hats

Keeping up with our New Prosperous Year, I continue to search the steem blockchain to find new and exciting people to follow, contests to participate in and discussions to philosophize about.

@agneslaczo has a neat new contest in which the goal is to draw a cat in such a way as to impress the judge! Since its all fun and games, I decided to participate!

Try 1:

My first attempt at hand drawing a cat was the above drawing, which my dad told me looked like a Leprachaun. So I lovingly named it the Lepra-Cat. Pretty good for my first attempt, but the Lepra-Cat seems a bit on edge.

Try 2:

While making my Award Winning entry for @rocking-dave's A.I. art contest, I made a cat with a hat. This was not hand-drawn but mouse-drawn, and there seems to me to be something ironical about a mouse-drawn cat, to say nothing of enslaving a computer to do the coloring.

Finally I realized I needed help. I need a lot of help, but in this case especially related to drawing. Looking at the other beautiful entries, I thought I should go to youtube and find some walk-throughs on how to draw a cat. Together as a family we all watched the following video about how to draw a cat face.

Now I was ready! Prepared by youtube, I took up my pen once again and drew another cat, and another hat.

Try 3:

This is my best cat EVER! It even looks like a cat and not just a mixture between a cat and some other creature. The only issue with this poor guy is that he has no arms, but I'm sure with that positive attitude and party hat he gets along just fine.

Thanks for stopping in again, we are getting back into the swing of things this year, and you know how much fun it is to find new and challenging contests on Steemit!

Love and Light to All!
