This blog post is dedicated to all the black cats I have had the pleasure of drawing since I became a full-time artist in 2016. I must say the black cats are such a pleasure to draw and I have loved each and every one of them. Look through my black cat drawings and learn their names and where they are from. If you have a black cat I would love to draw him/her! Please contact me for a quote and let’s create a work of art that you will treasure forever!

‘Cammy’ - New York, USA, 2019

'Ash' - New Jersey, USA, 2019

This was the most unique portrait I have completed so far. It was commissioned for a small locket so I had to get the measurements exactly right. Below you can see the scan of the original portrait and the reference picture I used to draw it. This portrait was sent to the customer in a lovely little box, now little Ash can always be remember and kept close to the heart.

‘Tia, Daisy, Smudge, Timmy, Gordon & Garfield’ - 2018

‘Piggy’ - 2017

‘Blackie Chan’ - 2017
