One of my favourite projects in 2021 was a logo for the Fishing Cat Conservation Alliance, who approached me with an illustration job. I was over the moon to draw a cat that's going to represent conservation of the species!
First I've researched some common poses for the animal
Next, we've selected a pose (crouched bread-loaf pose) and I've made a slightly more detailed drawing
Finally, I've moved the cat's head towards the viewer, giving it the characteristic stare
