21 Day Drawing Challenge | Day 1: Cat

21 Day Drawing Challenge | Day 1: Cat

21 Day Drawing Challenge | Day 1: Cat by Scott DuBar

 

Here is my first day of Von Glitschka’s 21 Day Drawing Challenge where we had to draw a cat. I liked it so much, I went ahead and finished him in Photoshop. My solution was to come up with an image that conveys my own fondness of cats and of what great companions they are (contrary to popular misconceptions!). I also took the opportunity to experiment a bit more with my approach to digital coloring, which I found very rewarding. Somewhere along the way, I got inspired by the old animated intro to My Three Sons, which helped me to go for a more elongated composition. I think it helps to convey the relationship between the cat and his owner more from the cat’s perspective, which is fitting since “cat” was the prompt for the day’s challenge.

Testimonials

  • “I am so fortunate to have found Scott online; though we’ve never met in person, we collaborate virtually with great success. He makes every illustration special, and he frequently exceeds expectations as he envisions something more interesting, humorous or beautiful than what had been ordered. Given his talent, professionalism and versatility, I recommend him enthusiastically.”

    Angie King

    Paul Oelerich
    Editor, Utah Adventure Journal
  • “I contracted Scott in 2011 to design a large backdrop illustration for a trade show booth that my company was creating for the 2012 New York Toy Fair. Scott did an absolutely fantastic job putting the illustration together (on-time) and completely exceeding all of my expectations. I really enjoyed working with him and plan on working with him again. The quality of his work was great, and everyone that saw the backdrop commented on how great it was. Thanks a lot!”
