Art Journal: Never Judge a Cat (with Mixed Media Cats’ Eye)

My brief this time was ‘your favourite animal’… as a bit of a cat lady that was easy.  Whilst mesmerised by my cats eyes I wanted to know how realistically I could recreate a cat’s eye on paper.  Their eyes look as though they are made from layers of cosmic realms with crackles and encapsulated in a crystal clear top layer.  Having practised in my art journal I know I’ll by doing this again.  I’m very satisfied with the results.
