Variations on a Theme
This was an illustration, or I guess a series of mini-illustrations, done for a class I had last spring taught by Dorte Christjansen, one of my very favorite professors I've had at Fullerton thus far. :D It was our first project and we were to choose two subjects and arrange them together in various ways based on certain criteria and illustration techniques she taught us, and being a fag for cats and plants of course I chose to do the flower and cat. :')
It was during this semester that I got Rupert. I think shortly after this project was due. Aheheh. >__> Even the little cat in the middle-left illustration looks like Rupert--I can't remember if it was just because I had already seen a photo of him, or if it was because I've just subconsciously always wanted a cat exactly like him. o_o
Anyway, mediums used in this project include pencils, color pencils, inks, watercolor, and gouache.
This is a really cool project. The middle right and middle bottom ones are really cool.
you are just too damn cute with that rupert of yours. i love my cats too so i understand the obsession. i particularly like the one on the bottom left. adorable.
