Good morning Sunday Sketchers... I hope you have all had a brilliant week and weekend.
This little girl popped onto my page this week
and then her little bat friend (whom I've drawn before) decided to fly in via the chimney...
Tut tut he's leaving sooty footprints behind him...oh dear more cleaning. He says he's very sorry but whooshing down the chimney is so much more fun than knocking on the front door...
I personally can't think of anything worse but then I'm not a chimney whooshing soot seeking furry bat creature... I must get the chimney sweeped or I'll be spending the rest of the summer cleaning soot.
I used Micron pens and watercolours. I hated watercolours at school, just couldn't make them work, they were always wishy washy or too bright ...(bad workman always blames his tools). Well now I'm getting the hang of blending and wet on wet or wet on dry etc...especially love it when I get to splatter.
That's my "Fun and Nonsense" for now...Catherine xxx

I wrote that you were bats and blogger shut me down. That will teach me! So this time when I comment I shall be much nicer! You are a wonderful illustrator :)
I just love them both but especially that cute little bat! I'm starting to get the hang of watercolor too a bit more now. I'm fascinated by the medium and it's the one that has dogged me the longest but now I feel like I'm at base camp of Mount Everest and ready to climb to the top!LOL!
Her face is amazing! I love her eyes and the nose.
Love the tiny bat, too!
xo
I love her eyes, cute sketch as usual!
I realy like this Catherine! You are great at water colouring. I find it the hardest medium to work with.

You have very cute people/characters in your art! Fun to see and the hear the stories they tell.
Me too, me too! I hated watercolor in school...it was the watercolor fault, haha! Now I use micron pens and watercolor for all my paintings. Thanks for sharing! xoxo
Beautiful! I love how you did her nose and lips. Cute little bat, too! I just saw a few bats flying around last night...don't see them too often here so was excited! (I love bats!)
I LOVE them!!!!!!!!!!!!!
cheers, dana
I love her brooding eyes and pursed lips. Very sultry! :-)
Fabulous!! xoxo
I absolutely love this little posing pretty and her batty friend. I would love to see them both visit the pages of this blog in the future. I'm sure there's all kinds of mischief they could get into together.
Catherine- this young lady has a different look to her than what I am used to seeing. Is she more mature? Sultry is a good word. Is this a different direction? If so, very enjoyable!
Ok, the phrase- Art Deco just popped into my mind when looking at the eyes and eyebrows.
cool! she reminds me of a mix of Emily the Strange and Bratz Dolls. cool bats! you should see where I live - bats everywhere.
bonjour Catherine! how are you? love those big eyes! and how cool to have a bat friend.
Amazing eyes, your control of water is great! love the bat.
Catherine I love this sketch. Way too cute and perfect for the upcoming holidays. I also really like her eyes in this one. Hugs :)
This is wonderful Catherine! I really love it! Super water colours.
Been busy working (drawing) and am really looking forward to the 10 days off.
Congrats on opening your Etsy shop!!!
completely adorable!
i might have bats in my roof at the moment, so far they are quiet as roommates go.
Oh how cute! Love this!
I love your little lady - does she have a name? I hope to join Sunday Sketches this Sunday (19th).
Preciosa ilustración, hermosos todos tus trabajos!! Saludos!
