Cat and Bird (graphic with pens-brushes) Hi friends! I keep exploring the possibilities of my new pens Bruynzeel Marrakesh which which I bought recently. I made a drawing Oriental house with pots with this pen set and want to drawing with it again https://read.cash/@daring-celt/oriental-house-with-pots-drawing-with-pen-brushes-0cd2ab75

On this time I want to use it with usual white paper for drafting.

I liked this photo from Pinterest. I decided to draw it with a slight change in the scene. Let the cat looking at... for example, at the bird! https://www.pinterest.ru/pin/60798663709643940/ Sketch The bird sat down on the bar in the wall and cleans the feathers The cat is watching her

I started my work with drawing the main outlines with a brown rod (*as you remember, these handles are double-sided*)

In the next step, I outline the branches of greenery on the left and right.

Ivy greens on the left, I spend a lot of time above the door There is a gap in the wall, so the space behind the leaves will be very dark (using a black and brown brush). I paint ivy leaves in two shades of green. Here I paint the door in a swamp color and part of the wall next to it. I shade the inside with brown to make it look more shaded, and the outside with pink peach brush.

Now the window behind the cat... I mix green, swamp and brown colors to get very dark color, but so that the black cat does not merge with it. I paint the inner planes of the window with a pink peach rod with a strong brown shading (this makes a shadows and texture of a stone at the same time)

Now the main characters! They are both, according to my intention, black, and they will have all the attention. First, I outline with a black rod where the highlights will be. Cats have a shiny coat, so even a black cat is light in places. Then I paint over the rest of the shape with a brush. I paint the bird the same way

Now I am finishing the right section of the greenery. Sometimes I apply leaf-shaped strokes, and somewhere I do just a chaotic set of strokes. These are climbing roses that have already faded. Dry buds will be brown Shadows under the foliage I paint in brown and swamp and make a texture of stones with brown rod.

And the last step. I paint the front piece of the wall peach pink brush. With black and brown rods I mark deep cracks and holes in the stones. I also sharpen the break in the wall above the door, which is partially obscured by ivy. I tint the door in green and darken the inner planes of the window with strokes with a swamp brush color. And here's what in the end

Yes, I liked how this pens drawing on white smooth paper too! Thanks a lot for your attention (and donation))) ) to my drawings! I hope If art pleases someone, but it was not done in vain)) Have a nice and creative day! Regards
