About this work

This sketch shows a person with short dark hair and a serious expression, looking slightly to the side. A small gray-and-white cat sits on their shoulder, peeking out toward the viewer. The background is plain, keeping focus on the two subjects. The artist used soft pencil strokes to blend the person’s skin and hair, giving a gentle, almost sketchy feel. The cat’s fur is drawn with quick, light lines, making it look fluffy. Next, check out how this was made using lithography.
