Black Cats Times Two

I have one more drawing to do of these

two cats. This is the preliminary sketch of

them. I am doing it in colored pencil, and I start

with the lightest values that will be underneath

all of the darker greys and blacks. When you add

some other layers of color, it gives a richness and

depth to the drawing that would not be there if I

just colored them all black. There will be some blues,

purples, and browns mixed into their fur.
