Cat Painting (sketch)

I took some pictures of my cat and I would like to do some more striped cat paintings on actual canvases.

I brightened the picture (my cat has very light stripes) to see his stripes and sketch out his pose.

After sketching out his pose, I made some adjustments (his pose is a bit different in the sketch) and made light lines where stripes should be. I like to free hand draw the stripes :)

After I finish this drawing/painting, I would like to try this on a large canvas with multiple colours!

I might need to carry my camera around with me to get some more poses of my cat. A sleeping one would be cute.....
