Friday Face OFF -- The Cat in the Hat

For this week's Friday Face OFF link party
of art featuring faces, hosted by Nicole of

Here's another quick freehand sketch
done directly in water soluble ink and ink wash,
based on art I found on the internet.


NOT the version you were
expecting based on the post title, lol?

  1. Hi Debra, That cat's expression just suits those clothes and the tilt of that hat.

  6. Not at all the cat I was expecting but I like the tilt of his, or her, hat, and the expression. Someone's up for some mischief.

  17. Your cat looks like it's ready to go catting around town.

  18. She's got Cattitude! I love her expression. It's clear that she is not HRH - who would only sit for a formal oil painting, not a quick freehand sketch...

  21. I have a great fondness for cats in hats, and at once wrote a long poem about how Rick and I met, thanks to a cat in a hat! I love yours -- a terrific face!

  22. I like your sketch! It reminds me of Eliza Doolittle or an Edwardian lady.

  23. I guess that cat's name is Audrey. Debra, it's fantastic! I love this so much. I'm rather jealous that you did this as a "quick freehand sketch - gosh, I would need hours for something like this and it would still look awful.

  25. Such an artistic twist for cats!

    and the hat suits her perfectly!
    Don't stop drawing, you're really good at it!
    Have a wonderful weekend!

  29. Unlike Dr. Seuss' version, your cat wears the hat instead of the other way around, haha.

  30. Great illustration, beautifully done.
