Watercolor and Graphite WIP of my dear sleeping Cat (Kenshu)

Hey Guys! 

Here is another WIP just for your eyes, made on watercolor 

and then the final touches with a 4B pencil =D

Enjoy!!

Well, first of all, I took as a refference a sketch I made before looking at my cat

that was sleeping on his little bed 

I made it with an 8B graphite Bar

After doing a tracing of the drawing on a Basik DinA4 plus paper, I began painting, 

placing the colors and controling the light, shadows and the volumes...

 At this point I had all the watercolor work almost done, but I wasn't 

aware that to continue I was going to use a Graphite Pencil, I was sure 

it needed something else to be entirely finished.

The next day it was completly clear that it needed something darker, just to give a more 

realisting touch to the scene, the solution, as I said, was a 4B Graphite Pencil, mainly on the cat, had some problems on the back leg and the tail, but they were eventually fixed =)

Here is the final well scanned result...

Well, this is all the WIP, hope u liked it

Next time I'll bring you a Gouache WIP, It doesn't have as many photos to explain but I'll

manage to tell you every detail so you know well the behind the scenes...

See you people =D
