Well, spotted could be so many things, but it occured to me the other day that tabby cats are actually sort of spotted. Based on this photo, which I like a lot – such attitude!
I don’t draw from photos much (ever), but as I don’t have a cat, I can’t see a cat’s shape in my mind. The first picture is more careful and more spotted, whereas the second one is moving away from the photo, and freeing up a bit.
