I decided to try and draw something different for once. I decided on my mom's cat, who had been sitting beside me, not moving,for awhile. As soon as I start getting the basic shapes he moved 😮‍💨 decided to try and draw his face anyway. Got this monstrosity 🤣😅 #art #artsky #itsacatipromise #amateurart
