Keith the Cat by Janet Pantry

Extraordinary painting/drawing - how on earth did you achieve the glassy transparency of his eyes in coloured pencil? Great name, by the way.....

Lovely work, particularly like the eyes and ears, well done!

Have just found your gallery and enjoyed my visit very much, your work is so skilled and varied. I admire this cat portrait immensely, he is beautiful, and beautifully portrayed. Just brilliant.

Lovely! Especially the eyes.

Brilliant. He's so real - just perfect.

Striking work, eyes and ears are very well done.

Thank you everyone for your kind comments. Robert , I'm not too sure how I got the 'glassy' eye look to be honest. It wasn't any specific technique. I used waxy coloured pencils, Prismacolor and Derwent Coloursoft, on this drawing which helped and, of course, the highlights also add to the effect.

excellent pussy,

Have only just discovered your gallery Janet - what brilliant work. I love the idea of pencils on sanded paper and must give it a go. Keith is most impressive and I agree with all the previous comments. Very well done.
