About this work

This sketch shows a curled-up cat lying on its side, its head tucked under its body. The lines are loose and quick, almost like scribbles, with some darker shading on the cat’s back and tail. The paper is plain, and the whole thing feels rough and unfinished. The artist used pencil strokes that overlap in places, giving the cat’s fur a textured look. It’s not polished—just a quick, raw capture of a moment. If you like this style, check out cross-hatching next.
