You did such a great job on this drawing. I love the tones. The cloths and blanket were done so realistically. The kitty looks cute. Your body proportions are spot on. I think he is going to LOVE this precious gift. Thank you for sharing.

I have a pretty good idea who is behind this beautiful drawing, and I like the title as well since a cat is present. The child looks so lovely and totally relaxed, and also the cat seems to be quite content.

Needless to say that this is done paying very good attention to details, but most of all I like how you have used the light.

The format and framing is perfect and Morgan has got a very good placement on the paper. Indeed a lovely and well done drawing, and I wish you luck with the contest.

Beautiful and sweet. Cats are very protective and possessive. When they get attached to a person it is the connection of a life time. My cat likes to take naps with me, also. Excellent drawing with a lot of expression and character. Good shadowing and depth. well proportioned. Very nice composition. What a wonderful birthday present. They are so sweet when they sleep.

So life like and such perfect detail. This looks like an old photo that has faded. Can't believe this was drawn! Soo good. Great shading and nice highlights where needed! Awesome talent.

This is both precious and priceless. Morgan looks so peaceful and content. The overall feel to the picture is one of softness, love, and trust. I love the tones you chose to do this in--they also add to the warm, content feel of the piece. Everything in this gives a feeling of harmony and the good things in life: the look of trust and peace on Morgan's face, the contentment of the kitty, the stocking feet, the restful slumber. This just says love and comfort to me. Very well done!

A dramatic chiaroscuro creation in sepia rendition!

Subtle illumination.
Fine facial features & soft textures.
Very realistic folds & creases.
The softness of the fabric is palpable.

Thanks for sharing...
