A kitty called Bunny

Hello there,

Another project made for Copic España blog. It wasn't my intention to make it a tutorial, but I am sharing some tricks of how to sketch a semi-realistic pet portrait.

But I guess I have to explain the name of the post (it is not sketch related so you can skip it if you want). 
So we own a cat (or she owns us 😂) Her name is Zayka. She appeared at our porch a year ago so skinny and scared. Her ears were shredded in a nasty fight... we got her to the vet and operated her.
Normally the cat starts walking and acting normal in a week after the operation, in case of Zayka it was more than a month - she was hardly moving from her bed in the storage room. Then very slowly she started to get up. We were looking for a home for her, and didn't want to give her a name to get attached so we called her Little Kitty or Zayka ("zayka" literally means "bunny" in Russian, but is widely used in a meaning "sweetie" or "darling"). After our older dog died we decided to adopt Zayka. And the name kinda stuck with her 😃 And what we thought she hadn't been feeling well. she is just really introverted 😂 


So I made her portrait in a bunny hat. Makes sense, right? 😉


I know it is
