Drawing British Cat in ArtRage (create a cat collection)

Hi friends!

Since I drew and showed you my first pop art cat I created a little collection of cat pictures in this style.

To draw it was more fun, I chose a cats of different breeds as models.
And drew them with different tools (in the same program ArtRage)

For example, this oriental cat was drawing with Oil Brush you already know

and Designer Brush (this tool was add in version 5, earlier it wasn't).

This tool is convenient in that you can create any form of brush stroke except default setting.

In one of the following tutorials I'll definitely tell and show you what you can create with a Designer Brush.

So, now I'll tell you how I drew this British cat

I started my drawint with creation a sketch
(I choose a photo of my friendin from Livejournal as a reference).
And I drew a sketch with Marker tool

Sketch

Next step I chose color palette

and color of background.
I decided to draw it with radial gradient

Fill tool icon placed on tool palette

Gradient tab on palette window

I chose one of gradients

and modificated it so how I'd like

Then I create new layer (under sketch layer) and fill it.

Then I stared to draw cat in colors on new layer.
I choose Pastel tool for it

with that options (preset Soft Wax)

I begin to draw, observing the position of light and shadow on the figure of the cat

Used a colors from palette or pick a shade from Pickers palette (in right lower corner)

Сlarify a highlights and a shadows areas of fur

Color of eyes

Finish detalization

I hope you liked my new tutorial!

Have a creative day and take care yourself!
