EDM # 185--Draw a Cat

This is our cat (Edgar Allan) Poe. I like the pen and ink cat drawing. Then, I tried to recreate the folds of the blanket on which he slept. I tried to draw what I saw but I think I failed miserably. I need more practice with folds, obviously.

I debated about posting this sketch. I wanted to get a couple of sketches posted this week, as I will be on holiday next week. So I didn't take the time to do it over. We are about learning, right? You win some and you lose some. In this case, all in the same sketch.

EDM # 1--Draw a Shoe

Here is my take on the first challenge. I think the colors are accurate. The photography needs work. A scanner would be even better, but that will have to wait. I am also including the pen and ink drawing before the watercolors were added. I am pleased with the sketch overall. I wish the inside of the shoe had more depth. I am adding the pen and ink drawing before watercolor was added. I wonder if cross-hatching would have added that depth. All advice appreciated.
