A witch and her fat cat familiar

That is the thumbnail of this drawing I did today. My 'cafe drawing'.

Here is the entire image with the cat.

I did my first 5 minute #freewrite today, which you could read here. After writing it I was inspired to do a study of a witch and her fat cat. It was fun.

So, today at the cafe I decided to do one of my cafe drawings also inspired by a witch and her fat cat.

Having this wonderful coffee (and a little fag break) whilst watching the snow turn to rain, I kept thinking about my witch character. I knew I wanted to do one of my 'cafe drawings' which I like to do in dark contrast of digital black and white ink.

I also decided I wanted to share it with #slothicorn tag and recently having read the rules for using the tag, I found out that we are allowed to contribute any of our art we feel is good quality and it does not have to include the slothicorn character. And while I do love drawing her, I also like to share my general artwork.

Part of the #slothicorn rules, I believe, are to share some of the process. For me in my cafe drawings I like to start with a rough pencil sketch.

Then I like to determine where the stark shadow will be with black digital water colour. I think comic artists call it 'finding the black'.

I really like the idea of sharing our work for collaboration and being used by other artists to riff on it. Therefore I'm also including this image in the #creativecommons license.
