Merlin and Cobweb

An oil pastel painting of my brother's cats "Merlin" (on the left) and "Cobweb" (on the right). Sennelier and Neopastel oil pastels. A4 size (12x8 in). Lots of smoothing with fingers, paper stumps and even a firm paint brush to try to get a fur texture.

This is my first attempt at painting or drawing animals, so please do let me know what you think.
