If I may leave a ProjectComent comment.
Positives:
I love the designs of the characters, they are adorable. The pose is cute af and your outline is clear. Also, I love how it's in traditional. The colours blend well and the fine fur detailing is good. Well done on making all fur colour run in the same direction.
Negatives:
The first thing that has caught me is the lack of pupils, now unless the cats are blind this takes the piece down, I would recommend looking up cat eyes to help you. Also, there is no distinct separation between tail and body, I would recommend putting a slight line between them to separate them a bit (
like I do on these). It can help a lot. Also, I would look out at the colouring stage as some of your colouring goes over the lines and at a point, the tabby fur colour goes into the Silvers.
I hope this has helped.

Thanks! Yeah I think I'll keep my washes of watercolor and detail work lighter. These colors are overworked and yeah even though cats literally have an extra eyelid, it looks kinda odd.

Aaaaaw~ ^3^ The only critique I have is that you forgot to put shadows and lighting in their fur unless of course, they are in a dark room then it's understandable they don't have shadowing or lighting. Very good.

Normally I don't critique as I don't find myself with a lot of time, but I will do it here as I feel you deserve it. The colours work really well, albeit some a bit too dark for the composition and vice versa for others. However, at a few moments of glancing, it does seem a bit distracting to figure out what is going on right away. However, it seems looking at it more does eventually give the idea, so nothing worthy of docking points. My larger "issue" (I wouldn't say it makes me dislike the piece though), is the overall blending and strokes throughout the piece. I'm unaware of if this is a stylistic choice or not, but some parts of the piece look splotchy and sometimes out of place. For example, on the tail of the tiger-like cat, the tail has a place with it looks too dark and feels as though it wasn't consistent with drying. Other than that, I like the piece itself and feel you did a good job. Good luck in the future!

Thank you for taking the time to comment, I think I really had no plan for this one save the pose so yeah, def see what you mean. I want a more painterly look but I don't know that I thought it through. So yeah, you're spot-on, the coloring is muddied and confusing which I will work to avoid in the future. thanks!

No problem! I think you'll improve very well and I actually envy you on your ability to draw animals. Lol, I've always wanted to do better but it's good to see you have success in doing it.

Truth be told I wish I could draw humans as well! But thank you

That's just amazing, your traditional style is so cool!

Aw thanks Silver ^_^ this was kind of an experiment and next time I want to go more fluid and use color instead of outlines to separate areas of contrast and the individual characters. I think the ink takes away from the paint but it was worth the venture. Hopefully Hawky will like it still.
