Just seeing your step-by-step process is both inspiring and intriguing. I really like the way, right from the first sketch, that you could "feel" the shadow of the cat imminent, and that you started your palette with some dark and gloomier colours. For some reason I can't but help think of that wonderful animated film, Ratatouille - a favourite of my little daughter for many years already. You have a great future in cartoon and animation. Do you work in the field?
