I struggled a bit in earlier attempts to depict the fuzzy furry appearance this neighborhood cat, who got lost in a hot summer day (“18 years old, moved very slowly, with health problems”).
My progress was finally unblocked by switching to focus on volumes instead of starting from contours and selecting a wooden background color.
Later, I experimented with stable diffusion from the original close-up photo and manual drawing of the cat. With identical text prompts, the generated results tend to be more like photos/drawings stating from the photo/drawing.
