A tiny cotton canvas with an ink painting (bronze wash and two calligraphy pens) of Cuddles - the one and only Cuddles! I figure anthropomorphaholic would like to see him get a piece of art of his own!

Calligraphy pen for drawing? What a very strange approach.
I always like seeing how the size of the line changes as you write (or draw here) on a 'curve'. It is very beautiful.
I could never draw with such a confusing instrument. Congratulations for being able to. ^^
The lion looks very cute, a little house-cat like; ferocious beasts are hard to turn docile.

Oh, thank you on both counts! The lion is actually a plush animal portrait, so I was going for a relaxed and friendly look!
As for the calligraphy pens, I find they take some getting used to (primarily forcing you to be very brave about the lines!) but the're many advantages. They give you very natural transitions between thick and small lines in a single otherwise simple instrument, plus the ink is very clear and clean and almost instantly drying. It should be said that I didn't have much calligraphy experience before I tried these out, and now I've accidentily picked up that craft because of using these pens. It's a pity I'm not very interested in lettering.

I have used them before, very flowy. But not very good for detail! I might try to use one when drawing in Random's style, it looks as if it may make the image look a bit more smooth... It is a very difficult style to imitate correctly, I have tried thirty times already. ^^;
Aside from the cacti and the palm (it has dead leaves springing out at that level).. but yeah, I rarely throw out the plants that expire. I like those mustard flowers.. it is a pity they don't last forever, but they have made it to the italian garden weeds on the other side before they were done.
I.. was about to dork out about plants. I really had to stop myself. :D

Heehee! And I'll draw him again! If I buy and customise that calico plushie to look like you, you can put on a Cuddles fursuit and I'll take a photograph! That's art too.. wait, that wasn't at all what I was going to say! What about a drawing featuring Cuddles being cuddled by us? :3
Well, here we are then.. http://www.silver-wire.org/drawings.....lescuddles.jpg :3
