Draw or Nap #2: The modern witch

cat-witch with ipad and puppies
The modern witch
Debra at She Who Seeks
suggested drawing a modern witch so this piece came about. (Thanks Debra.) The only thing I can think of to modernize a witch would be technology so she uses an ipad or whatever you like to think as modern. I certainly don't know as I'm quite un-modern.

I titled this The modern witch but I'm thinking maybe change to The tea witch as she's a tea maker or so I believe. I wanted her to be a cat-witch so it's why she has such ears but she doesn't really look like a cat. The animals in her arm and on the floor are puppies or cats or some weird cat-puppies or something. I decided pink is her favorite so that's why there are so much pink.

  1. Fun art! I like the idea of her familiars being "weird cat-puppies" -- probably custom-made by her!

  3. Nice! Love it. The jars on the walls and the flooring. I'd love to see the outside of her cottage or whatever her home is as well. :)

    1. Greg: I'm thinking the outside would look like a cottage or some very normal looking house but probably with a flat roof where she can watch the stars or set off flying somewhere.

  8. A modern witch ... no not any iPads or things like that, but eletric cauldrons. Fires are messy, dangerous and hard to temperature control. Any modern, self respecting witch now uses thermostat-regulated cauldrons.
    As much as I love this drawing and the 'bunny-kitten-puppies' I'm still no big fan of pink ;)

    1. Charlotte: I imagine she doesn't uses real fire for her concoctions. Thermostat-regulated cauldrons are a great idea.

      I know pink isn't for everyone so it's okay you don't like it. Actually, I was deciding between green walls or pink walls but the floor was already green so...

      Thank you for coming by. Have a lovely day.
