2017 Christmas Presents - Katrina Cat

This is definitely the most different and difficult breed of cat that I attempted to depict in this series of ACEOs.  The fur is so short that I had to draw every curve and wrinkle that is normally hidden by longer, thicker fur on other cats.  I chose a curly-coated, red Devon Rex to represent my friend Katrina because the breed's appearance is a good translation of her human one: thin build with curly, strawberry blonde hair.  I really love the coiled whiskers on this cat!  So cute I wish I could pet them for real!
