Mia (Piddles)

So after seeing so many other artists using mechanical pencils I decided I'd pop down to our local art store and pick up some cheap basics ones that I could 'get used to' and see if I like them.
Well... 3 cheap mechanical pencils later, here I have a small drawing of our new kitten, Mia. (or Piddles as my Dad calls her.)

She's really beautiful and cuddly, when she's not being a maniac that is. I'm now a converted mechanical penciler... it's been years since I've used normal graphite pencils, I've been using jet black pencils for years now and I'll still continue to use them, but these are really good for precision, especially fur! So yeah, happy with this.
