Amazing!

The colors of the cat contrast well with the red BG, and the lighting is beautiful. The fur is pretty good, but I recommend a couple of small bits sticking out from the main body to give it more of a fuzzy texture without having to draw every single hair. My favorite part is the eyes- they're gorgeous! Great work!

Great work!

This is a piece which owes its vibrancy to the variety of colours used here. ItâEUTMs worth noting the way the cat is shaded, putting darker and lighter colours (primarily blue) together to show the contours on the catâEUTMs body. ThereâEUTMs also the greens and yellows being used for lighter areas and also complimenting the reddish background.

The shape of the cat seems to be correct too. I like how the brush strokes seem to follow the pattern of the catâEUTMs fur but more of this couldâEUTMve been done for the side of the cat (at the bottom of the image).

The palette of colours employed here help make this a great portrait. 87/100 A+
