PopArt Cat or My digital experiments Hi friends! Once time, one year ago when my computer once again crashed I had to use a completely different drawing program, which was on my laptop. This was **ArtRage**. I had never worked in this graphic program before. Well, I propose to get to know each other together. Is it interesting for you? What is to draw to get meeting with the program? Something not very difficult... Once I came across an interesting drawing on the Internet - a portrait of a lion painted in separate color strokes. It seemed fascinating to me, and now I will try to repeat it. But I’ll draw not a lion, but a cat. https://previews.123rf.com/images/anwarsai/anwarsai1806/anwarsai180600004/103753413-colorful-lion-illustration-lion-art-lion-design.jpg

If you have never seen **Art Rage** interface, then it looks like this Left - a palettes of layers and drawing tools, right - tool options and color ring *Sorry, my program version on Russian, because I'll be make a screens*

I take a **Pencil tool** with standard settings and sketch the cat’s head.

Then I select a brush that imitates strokes of oil paint - **Brush Oil**

and begin to scatter colored spots in different parts of the cat's face.

When the entire contour of the muzzle is filled with colorful strokes,

I draw the cat's eyes with **Pen tool** - this tool gives clear lines that are not smeared.

I draw a mustache with the same tool In order to brighten up the cat portrait, I create a new layer below the portrait layer and fill it with black.

The head is beautiful, but it seemed to me not enough! And I draw a chest portrait - with the same colors, with the **Brush Oil**

Then I wanted to make a texture background, because just black color is too boring. I took **Roller tool**

Finally, I drew a magnificent tail for the cat. And to make the work look finished and more picturesque, with the same **Brush Oil** I share an imitation of small splashes of colored spots of paint around the entire cat.

It remains to make a crop and save the image for Web publishing (*I forgot to mark the picture by my logo... oops!*)

This was my first art experiment in the Art Rage program. I liked it, and I intend to continue in the same vein! I hope you enjoy this colorful cat too)) Have a nice and creative day! Gera
