Challenge #8 (non-dominant hand): Possum

Warnings: Cuteness
Content Notes: Possum, also known as the best cat in the world - I figured he'd forgive me if it turned out wonky. Pencil drawing (scanned & the contrast slightly upped as it was a crappy scan). He's not actually legless, he just has his paws tucked under him. :)
Well, that was interesting. The right side was incredibly hard to do - worse than doing left sides with my dominant right hand. I constantly had to beat down the urge to swap the pencil to my right hand, as well. The likeness (see icon) is a bit wonky but his fluffiness came through.

He looks fierce and fluffy!

He's only fierce with interloper cats - with me he's a softie. :)

Really cute drawing :)

Nice! I adore the fluffiness and that you managed to draw the texture of the fur like this with your non-dom hand. I couldn't have done it.

Ha! The fluffiness was doable as a lot of badly coordinated strokes end up eventually looking like fur. I had a bit more control than I'd feared, but I definitely avoided doing any actual lines - they'd have been super wobbly!
