B/W Challenge - Meet "El Tigre"

I did this Charcoal Drawing back in 1965, of my brothers cat that he called: El Tigre (Spanish for the tiger). This cat had a real attitude and played really rough and I ended up with a lot of scratches on my hands & legs, ouch.

I still draw from time to time working in charcoal and also coloured pencils of animals, plants and scenery. Thought I'd enter this into the B/W Challenge.

Thank you for your Comments in Advance, also thanks for your time and friendship.

Have a great day, ♥Skates

Pat, your brother has called it 'El Tigre', no wonder that it caused scratches. Imagine that it would have behaved like a mouse, LOL!!!

Very fine and artistic creation and a proper one for the challenge.

Very well done my good friend.

You are so talented Skates.
As ornery as this cat was, I would make some copies of this drawing and use it for target practice. :)

Wow, I'm finding more Caedes members with hidden talents. A beautiful charcoal drawing ... I think you presented El Tigre's personality perfectly from your description of him. Wonderful entry for the B & W challenge, Pat.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
