Malaysian Artist Creates Fluffy Cats Using Just Ink And The Result Looks Hauntingly Beautiful
Artist Kamwei Fong painstakingly creates these textured, fluffy black cats, using only a fine-line pen. The intricate drawings, a series called The Furry Thing, are the gorgeous end product of a technique that requires a great deal of skill and patience.
“I draw them by shading with tons of tiny furs,” Kamwei told Bored Panda. “It is indeed a very time-consuming process. Small cat drawings like A3 could take a few days, big ones like 25×37 inches could take a few weeks.” The lines are varied in size and density to slowly build volume and texture, resulting in a ‘furry’ look.
The fluffy cats are crafted in such a way that each one displays a unique, playful personality, which is a testament to the skill of the Malaysian artist. Kamwei makes similar black and white drawings using the same technique to create a variety of animals, such as monkeys, puppies, and Bo the Goldfish, a minimalist and peace-evoking character through which Kamwei aims to “encourage and uplift people to become more optimistic about life.” He illustrates under the name ‘Bo & Friends’ and sells his beautiful drawings at his Etsy shop, they make fantastic gifts!

this technique is incredible, so simple yet so effective! patience levels off the charts.
These are so soothing to look at. I'm saving them for stress relief.
wow, incredible, they’re really good at what they do . I love these (and not just because i’m a cat person)...they have a dash of Edward Gorey’s style, which is awesome. if you have never checked out his illustrated books, i highly recommend checking it out, especially if your a fan of victorian era style artwork with a touch of the Addams family cartoons and of nonsensical but really cool witty dialogue.
These are gorgeous! My fav was the Wave kitty. This must take so long; I can only imagine the kind of patience you need to draw these. He has some real talent!
