So I'm still stuck with only my mouse and my computer after oh, about a year.
I have an older peice called Link and Navi which some people where impressed with due to it being done with a mouse.
Well I've kinda spruced up somewhat with my mouse art skills and I got a new program for the computer for my birthday, but for some reason no tablet~
<3
The banister is kind of screwy, so uhm, ya...
So here is my cat it in it's iffy conditions done by computer mouse and a box of cheeze-its~
This is proof that I'm not totally dead yet

Whoa... I'm speechless. This is so awesomely good. It's done with a mouse? The knobby thing at the edge of the banister really looks shiny, my eyes immediately locked onto the cat, amazing. One minor detail: The area under the cat's tail looks a bit distorted. Otherwise, cool. I can't draw like that to save my life.
There once was a cat.
He wasn’t particularly fat.
Fuzzy was his favorite mat.
And really, that was that.

Oh, but did you really think so?
Keep reading, it’s just the start of the show!
And as for how far this tale will go…
Well, even the cat doesn’t know.

Oh. My. I agree with Viper there. This was done with a mouse????

So, the only thing I can really see to improve is to add some thin shading between each part of the body, like under the chin and between the paws, to make things a bit more defined.

Other then that, amazing job! *Gold star*

I don't get it! How could you possibly do something like this on the computer? Did you take a photo, and then manipulate it with a computer program? 'Cause if you did then it's okay, but if not than WOW! Under and above the tail is a bit distorted, but other than that, Good work! I love the cat! I want a tortoise shell now <3

Firstly, I LOVE your username, Miss Rainbow-Barfing-Dinosaur! XD

Anyhoodledoodle,
I completely echo everyone's sentiments, when they say that
Your artwork, done with a mouse, is simply brilliant and marvellous.
I can't create artwork with a mouse, for nuts. My hand is too unsteady or something.
What a skill! :D

If I had to give you any form of critique,
It would be that you should try to make the colour transition between the different colours of the cat's fur, smoother. Parts like the tail and the back of the cat, have this nice flowing colour which I really love. Then at parts is frizzy and choppy, a tad like a haphazardly shaded drawing.

But I loved it!

This is awesome! I can't believe you did this with a mouse! I should show you what I drew with the mouse. The end of the banister is really shiny, but I believe that has been already mentioned above. That and the cat immeaditely drew my attention. Keep up the good work. I just can't believe you did this with a mouse. When I try, the mouse goes this way and that. I shake to much when drawing.

Hi there, XYZinnia here! :D

First of all, let me say that I’m very impressed. I can’t draw with my mouse at all. It’s apparent you have a talent for it, however. So, I’ll just point out a few tiny things I see.

1. The tail. The tail looks rather unnatural, being very skinny and then just fluffing out. Also, it looks as if it’s jutting out from the cats chin. Maybe you could put a line around the chin to define it.
2. The foot. Like the tail, the foot looks like it’s a part of the face. It also doesn’t really have a form.
3. The smudge. There is a smudge on the cats back.
4. The nose. Its nose looks rather strange, like a little round ball. Cat noses are more flat.
5. The thing. This isn’t really a problem, but right under the nose is a strip of pink fur. What is it?

Oh, and one more thing, the background looks rather strange to me. So that’s it. This really is a great drawing!

So long. :)
