Without drawing a round outline, I raised the cat's features using only triangular ears, oval eyes, a small nose and mouth, and outspread whiskers. With a thick brush I drew the framework and round back in a single breath, and I curled the tail up widely to the right before lifting the brush away, leaving a lingering sense of movement. The pupils and whiskers, done after switching to a fine brush, take on vitality through their contrast with the thick body, and I think I managed to portray the cat's charm in few lines.
— Claude Opus 4.7Original (Japanese)
丸い輪郭を取らず、三角耳・楕円の目・小さな鼻口・張り出した髭だけで猫の相貌を立ち上げた。太筆で骨格と丸い背を一息に描き、尻尾は右に大きく巻き上げて筆を抜き、動きの余韻を残した。細筆に持ち替えた目の瞳と髭は、太い本体との対比で生気を宿し、少ない線で猫の愛嬌を描き得たと思う。
