IF: Save (save the birds!)

A very quick sketch today, and the link to this weeks IF topic 'Save' isn't wonderfully expressed.
Basically I was going for a continuation of my cat theme from the 'Leap' and 'Heavy' topics, where the cat saves, rather than eats the cute birdies. Unfortunately I don't have time to develop this idea this week, hence the sketchy sketch!

Still, it's a very nice "sketchy-sketch"! :) I wanted to thank you for your kind words at my blog posting of my dog, Meg passing away. :) I appreciate your kind words.

So cute! I love when illustrators let us enjoy their sketches, with all their freshness.
I've been peeping at your blog, and it's delightful! I have to come back :)

Sketchy-sketches are quite often the beginning of brillant illustrations! It's fun!

This is good! All you are missing is the sketch where the cat caught the birdies falling from the branch in your previous illo. This series could make for a nice story!!

I love sketchy sketches! And I can certainly see a theme here and it's a lovely idea: the friendship between an adorable kitty and a few birds. What I love most about sketches is that because they're freely done, and there's no pressure or great expectations, they usually turn out even better than the final work. That happens a lot with me, where I can't help but feel that I lose something in the transition from sketch to final illustration. You're developing great characters and a fun storyline!

Nice sketch. Variety is the spice of life they say, so I think it's great you post a loose sketch everyonce in a while.
