I had already painted (yeah, can&#8217;t you see I&#8217;m trying to paint?) the entire background red and had the cat (yeah &#8230; yeah &#8230; you can laugh) in white painted on. A plain red canvas will probably be a better one to start this &#8216;making of&#8217; thingie. Anyway, fuck it. Just like everything in life &#8230; it&#8217;s too late.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ndroo.com\/images\/maonalisa\/maonalisa2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"400\" \/><br \/>\n<strong>17th July 2008<\/strong><br \/>\nIt&#8217;s way past midnight, baby Fitzand &amp; his mom are asleep and the darn maid ain&#8217;t coming into my study room to mop the floor and pissing me off. I decided to give the boring red background some &#8216;life&#8217; and gave it a messy look. Cool ain&#8217;t it? Stop laughing at my cat!!!!! Compared to the previous one, looks like my cat has lost some weight eh? I&#8217;ll give it some milk in the morning.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ndroo.com\/images\/maonalisa\/maonalisa3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"400\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ndroo.com\/images\/maonalisa\/maonalisa4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"400\" \/><br \/>\n<strong>19th July 2008<\/strong><br \/>\nI&#8217;ve had some people asking me if the version on the 17th July was the completed work. Hmm &#8230; do you guys really think I&#8217;m that artistic, trying to pass off a painting of a ghost as one that&#8217;s of a cat &#8230; or you think I&#8217;m that bad that I can&#8217;t draw a proper (or at least a bit more proper) cat? \ud83d\ude00 Okay, so today I made some &#8216;progress&#8217;. I made my cat fatter (I&#8217;m good at doing that to myself too!) and painted some basic stuffs like the nose and eyes (what? eyes too big?) &#8230; and also gave it a fish so that it won&#8217;t lose weight again. Waiting for the paint to dry before adding more details.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ndroo.com\/images\/maonalisa\/maonalisa5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"400\" \/><br \/>\n<strong>19th July 2008<\/strong><br \/>\nHours later after my last &#8216;update&#8217; &#8230; here&#8217;s a latest version with more details which are still in the initial stages of adding them in. Pretty challenging doing the details &#8230; pray for me &#8230; pray that I&#8217;ll not kill my cat.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ndroo.com\/images\/maonalisa\/maonalisa6.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"332\" height=\"320\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>19th July 2008<\/strong><br \/>\nAfter days of working on this \u8c93nalisa painting, I have decided to abandon it &#8230; and replace it with a similar one. Why? I got fed up working on it after a while &#8230; there&#8217;s something that just ain&#8217;t right &#8230; something that I don&#8217;t know. So I trashed it and began working on a new one &#8230; updates coming soon to a new blog post soon.<\/p>\n<p>\u8c93nalisa has left the building at almost midnight, 19th July 2008, leaving behind 8 tubes of acrylic paint, 5 brushes, a palette and a very confused guy.
