For the artistic direction, I opted for more realistic colors and a cleaner style, I wanted a nice light coming from the window and hitting the inner scene. I also studied the cat anatomy.
For this project, I used Manga Studio. I am usually a Photoshop user, but wanted to see the capability of other drawing software. Manga Studio is amazing for linearts. It can also be used for coloring and I think it does a great job.
