This is one of my favourite vector art works. One of my daily reads (Notes of Life) adopted a gorgeous cat called Leo, and being a cat lover I felt absolutely compelled to create a vector artwork of him.
I took snapshots of the vector four times so that I could keep track of my progress. The main idea of this was so that I could keep check of what I was doing, and make sure I was staying true to my original “vision”. I admit at snapshot 2 I was really worried that the detail I was putting into the fur was making the image hard edged, and for version 3 and the final I spent a long time making sure that I softened the tones and reduced the detail to retain the image softness.
