There is an unfortunate truth when talking about paper size... I simply can't find a scanner big enough! It's quite disgrumplifying, but the biggest scanner that's available for less than the anual salary of an oil tycoon is only legal size. But really, I don't mind smaller paper. After all, it gives me a great excuse not to draw feet!
I need practice with feet. Oh, and footwear. Shoes are hard.
Still, it's interesting that you should mention the unthrown kitten... because that's the one part of this picture I didn't like. Well, that and the fact I got rather sloppy with the 3D by the time I got to the legs. Anyway, I was trying to draw the kitten more realistical like, but I redrew its face at least a dozen times and each one was like that... a cartoon character cat rather than a real cat. I guess it's a throwback to the ancient days of yore when I spent a lot of time drawing Warner Bros style animal characters...
But I'm glad you like it, to all y'all who do! And for those who don't... I have a kitten for you.
