Hello All,

Many of you have inquired about my own book, The Complete Colored Pencil Guide to Cats; Wild and Domestic.

I had to put the book on hold for a while because of some family illnesses but I am now back on track.  I have completed 6 out of the 8 chapters and hope to have the book completed by the end of the year.

Here's a sneak peak of one of the full projects in the book:
