I love critique on all my pictures, but this is the first, non-personal, submission that I would really love to have critiqued!

So I finally managed shading with this one, I think it turned out pretty good! I tried to add some depth of field in photoshop, (which I barely know how to use, making that blur took me way too long) and I really think it helps the picture 'pop' a little more.

I also learned that I really don't like making line art. I'm going to try a picture without it next time to see how I do; I'll hopefully be able to make something more to my style.

I also decided to ignore most of my reference. The angle is a little off and I decided to keep the mouth closed because I realized that I've never drawn a cat with its mouth closed haha.

Again: Please critique this! I beg you! :p
