Cat stencil for Day 23 of #seeDrawPrint

If you are a cat lover, then you could turn a photo of your cat into a stencil. Look for a photo that has interesting shapes and strong negative spaces.

I don’t have a cat or many personal photos of cats, so I went to a copyright free source online Pixabay. I looked for some interesting cat silhouettes. Then I tweaked a drawing of a profile image of a cat.

Be careful to keep the lines and angles that express the attitude of your animal.

Then I printed a few quick impressions on some gelatin prints. I hope to make some ornaments for an upcoming sale.
