basic sketch this morning - I was thinking of trying my hand at #gouache for this kitty 🐱 verses my usual pencil or ink. What do you think?

school has started again, which tends to leave me with less time for my doodlin... busted this girl out while binging on some Netflix this weekend. What’s your art process like? I like to paint with music, but I’ve gotten into a rut with my playlists. C… https://t.co/YHZAcvXq7G
