I like this, Matthew, everything about it, the fur, ears, texture, colour - excellent

Lovely pastel of Buddy Mathew, you have really caught the fur well, i am finding pastels tricky but i have not tried conte hard pastels, are they the soft chalk like type? or more like the oil pastel sticks that dont have sharp points so diffcult to portray fur

You have a lovely group of cat portraits in your portfolio Matthew, great texture and expressions.

This is a lovely portrait Matthew, with a medium I've yet to try.

Lovely portraits Matthew

Thanks for all your encouraging comments. Conte pastels are more like soft chalk pastels.. but harder, if you know what I mean Ros. Oil pastels are horrible and sticky by comparison, i just don't get on with them. Give them a try.

Such character !

I'm having a go at using pastels. I tried before but they seem to come out like childrens crayon pictures. These are conte hard pastels and I seem to get along better with them. Mixed with some charcoal too in the background. This is Buddy, my cat. He's a very good model as he sleeps continously. When he's not asleep he just stares. I've done several of him as practice as you can see.
