2017 Christmas Presents - Little Brother Cat

With this "You as a Cat!" Christmas present, I finished all my drawings of family.  This one depicts my younger brother, who is actually between my two sisters in age, but I drew this and satoita's present during the same art session, so my drawing them out of order isn't completely nonsensical XD I picked the reference photo for this cat based on its pose.  It matched really well with the photo of my brother that I used as reference.  With this cat begins the series of unnatural cat eyes; since I wanted to make the eyes match the human, I ended up drawing several cats with dark brown, almost black eyes.  It kind of bugs me 'cause it just doesn't look like a natural cat XD
