A silly little doodle I did based on a meme picture. Not overly happy with it, but I do need to get into the habit of sharing more stuff.

This is really good yo. Getting cat expressions right on a semi realistic cat is hard and you did a focus blur. The shading is fantastic as well. The floor makes good leading lines to the kitty's face from the finger. Composition wise it rocks. The thin angry eyebrows on the kitty maybe arent necessary, I think the emotion can come across still but it'll feel less human and more cat. But overall as a frequent kitty intereracter, this does capture a moment well
I normally draw cartoons so the eyebrows are just an extension of that side of my work (and why I'm much less confident doing semi-realistic stuff), though I can't take credit for the composition, that was all the original photo that inspired it. (the composition was exactly why I wanted to draw it in the first place though!)
My general style is pretty cartoony as well and then kitty in original does have darker fur bits making an eyebrow. And despite your maybe best efforts to copy a photo, that composition is yours. You reproduced it with slightly sharper angles and have deeper outlines which draw the eye from top to bottom of the frame which is tells the story of the photo better than the photo. You also did a way stronger focus blur
