Zero
These are maybe the only pieces of artwork that I ever made of our dear, sweet Zero. I regret not drawing or painting him more, but I am glad that at least I have these. Photos and videos are great and I’m glad we have those to remember him by, but I do think my own art holds special memories for me, memories that I otherwise forget with the passage of time. Even if a painting or drawing isn’t as ‘real’ as a photograph, I do think that it captures something else that can’t really be stored via any other mechanical means.

Cats can be really hard to draw, especially since they always seem to be moving/watching every little thing around them. I always have to give up when trying to draw our cats. But spying on them sleeping is a smart way to grab a special sketch. Thanks for sharing and my condolences for your loss. Pets are part of the family.

Thanks Chris. Zero was a great cat to draw, he used to sleep so much so he was pretty still for hours at a time. He wasn’t chill most of the time, but when he did relax he really did it big time.
