  Drawing a black cat is easy if you think about it because you only need to use one color. However, it is a high-level painting because everything has to be expressed in black. I think drawing a black cat helps to increase the understanding of the mass of objects. Below is the fastest way to draw a black cat.

 Among the cats, I chose a cat pose that seems to be crouching and alert, but also looks cute and pitiful. This pose was chosen because it is difficult to express the crouching posture without understanding the mass expression.

  ​First, adjust the density with black paint as shown below and paint.

  ​Then, use a stiff acrylic brush to revive the outer hair.

  ​Then I choose yellow to paint the eyes and express the pupils.

  ​Cat eyes come in different colors.

  The thinnest one, trims the details and creates the fur and whisker.

 ​Today, I would like to briefly share the process of drawing a black cat I drew a while ago.

  I mainly draw without sketches. As shown below, I draw a picture of a rough concept with watercolor in a lump. These pictures are before the details are added.

  ​And the three black cats below are drawings with added detail. It took 1 hour for each cat.

  ​And the pictures below are what a black cat looks like when viewed up close. If you look closely, you can see that the little details make things come alive.

  Animal expression is a key with vividly reflective eyes and natural fur as if blowing in the wind. I used a rough acrylic brush or a brush with a split tip to express these hairs.

  ​By lightly touching the outside of the cat with these brushes, you can make the cat's hair appear alive one by one.

  ​Recently I noticed that ads were being posted on my website that were not suitable for AdSense ads. A blog is like a house, so you have to pay attention and look into it and solve problems one by one. I went to the AdSense site and changed the settings as follows. In other words, the ability to find categories of unsuitable ads and block those kinds of ads in advance.

First, you can go to Brand safety menu on your google AdSense. 

Click the Blocking controls under the Content's menu. 

You can go to Sensitive Categories as below. 

And block the related categories, where you don't want to show it on your site. 

  Compared to my other paintings at the art show I attended this summer, the sea paintings are all sold out. Here on Long Island, many people love the sea, especially because it is surrounded by the sea and has numerous beaches.

I drew a new beach picture today. And I want to share the process in a moment.

Just as the shape and atmosphere of the sea change color every moment, the artists' methods of expressing the sea are also different. All based on the artist's personality, philosophy, skill, speed, etc., each reveals his or her individuality. Therefore, each may have a different way of representing the sea. Here, I would like to show you the sea drawn in my own way for a moment.

​First of all, I think most of the parts below will be similar. Attach it to the horizontal part with masking tape. This allows for a more natural processing of the borders.

​Then create the gradient using the wet on wet technique. Before the paint dries, express the texture of the wavy part with a flat brush.

  Then, I use the ground white of watercolor paint to express waves, small water droplets, and marble.

​Below is the finished look.
