Artist's Comments

I just wanted to leave you with something to peruse before I took off ;)

This was meant to be included in Drawing Cats Part 5: Cat Breeds, but the subject of cat coat colors and patterns turned out to be hideously complex, so I made it a standalone document. I've tried to present it in an intelligible way, which I'm not sure is even possible given the multiplicity of possible combinations. The most helpful site I found that helped me sort this out is [link] .
Different organizations don't necessarily agree on official terms, so this isn't an exact science. I may make corrections and revisions when I start working on the breed themselves and gain more understanding of that. If something's too difficult to understand let me know and I'll try to make it clearer. I know the terminology gets confusing but I can't do anything about that...

Errata: The Silver-tipped color should be in red, i.e only obtainable through breeding. It's too much trouble to fix it just now :P

Note that the only part of that tutorial series that is complete and posted is part 4 [link] as I am not making them in sequence.

Luck hates me. Probably because I don't believe in it.
I'm so boring people think my comments are spam.

I commend you for being so anal retentive that you made a document strictly on cat colors =D. Well done!

Well then. My discovery of your cat tutorials makes what I have been working on useless, 8D

Really nice though... I'll have to go take a read myself!

This is so interesting to look at! I'm definitely going to refer to this when creating cat characters :D
:iconnomadikk:
Holy crap this is so full of information and heart, obviously you have a passion for the animal to make such a laborous guide. Very nice!

I really like the attitude and sleek agility of cats, but I've never owned one. I'm instinctively a dog guy I guess.
