Cat's Sleep

This piece is very well done; from the use of bright light, to composition and fine lines.

That one open eye is just so piercing and beautiful. The shape of it... it's just lovely and conveys alot of personality.

The markings were done well, too. I find that creating a fur-like texture, while maintaining patterns can be overwhelming and often very hard. You've done an awesome job.

Great use of value. Each strand of hair (including the fine little whiskers) are easily seen, thanks to your attention to detail.

Really, my only critique is that towards the bottom left corner, the fur begins to look a little grainy. (I'm not sure if quality was lost in scanning or not). I think, though, that this would be fairly easy to fix, and it isn't that big of a deal in comparison to the bigger picture.

In the end, you were able to capture a beautiful, candid moment, while maintaining a feel for personality. This picture is alive!
