You've got a really nice coloring style that you're developing there, I like how it's kind of soft and muted. The way she's sitting really has a figure drawing feel to it. I especially like the shape of her head, and the one hand she has draped over her leg. Her torso is also really well drawn until it reaches her waist and legs. It looks as though her spine has been broken in order for her to be able to sit that way. I like the bits of red that are mixed in, but they also confuse me. Are they reflections of something that is near her, or are they part of her natural fur color? I'm having the same problem with the yellow marks as well. They do a great job of adding a dash of color, but I'm not sure if they are markings or just awkwardly placed highlights. If some deeper shadows or a clear light source were added, this confusion might be resolved.

The gold is a reflection of her name, the red is the original sketch that I leave in all my pictures to add color. I wanted her body to be contoured to make her look a little uncomfortable and match her face, I may have left out a few lines near the hip area, but I believe the pose is possible. I try not to add true highlights or shadows unless I have a definite light source.

Oh good, I'm glad you cleared that up for me. It ALL makes sense now. X3

I like it. Missed the white tail tip, but this still looks great. Don't change a thing. BTW, this is cats_haven from LJ.

I'm glad that you like it, I realized I missed a few of your markings right after I uploaded it, I'm sorry

Don't worry about the markings. I like your style. It definitely works for the old black cat.
