Tuxedo Tomcat

8x7.5 mixed media on foam core board begun yesterday and finished today.  Initial Micron 01 ink sketch was followed by Mantilla black alcohol ink applied with a brush then 91% alcohol was flooded over the cat (same one as previously on the faux batiks) to allow color to resemble soft fur.  Eyes were a mix of green + yellow.  Nose and lips were a mix of orange, yellow, and red.  Background is red Montana acrylic marker and whiskers are white gel pen.
