I ended up coloring this all in one go, so now I can wait for it to dry. I had a lot of fun working on this one, and the subject matter is very dear to me too. It looks so much better than the original painting, and I am also glad I fixed Nikki's face. I'm finally getting comfortable with how I draw cats.
Main colors used:
- Titanium buff (Cobra) - general white
- Persian Rose (Cobra) - shirt and shorts
- Naples yellow light (Cobra) - Nikki
- Naples yellow (W&N) - skin (lighter tone)
- Naples yellow red (Cobra) skin (darker tone)
- Yellow ochre (W&N) hair
- Cadmium red hue (W&N)
- Burnt sienna (W&N)
- Phthalo blue (W&N) shorts
Even though the painting is incomplete, I still think it looks quite nice as it is. The blue shorts are very loud, but once I add in the other details it won't feel like the main focus. There are a lot of things I would still like to do to this painting.
- Add red stripes to shirt
- Emphasize Nikki's orange-ness
- Add hints of blue or green to the staircase
- Fine-tune details and outlines
- Small color corrections
- Shading on face
- Make foot smaller
- Fix Nikki's front paws
