Jumping back in as if I didn't miss the last two days..

Day 5
#ArtAdventCalendar
A charcoal drawing of my two cats.

A charcoal drawing of two cats sitting together. The cat on the left is a long-haired tabby, with her front legs outstretched and crossed. The cat on the right is a short haired tabby and white. He lies curled with all four legs stretched out touching the other cat, but he is looking down and away from the viewer.
