Painting Hosico Cat (Tips and Techniques)

Here are some tips and techniques to help you learn how to paint cats. 👨🏻‍🎨👩🏻‍🎨🐱
A crucial element in a great cat portrait - in addition to painting a cat’s fur in the right direction - is having accurate whiskers.
Remember to count how many whiskers there are and look at the length of each whisker - they’re not all automatically the same length as they fall out and new ones grow. A cat’s whiskers are also not the same thickness from base to tip - they taper.
Two essential things for painting realistic fur on a cat portrait are to paint the hairs in the direction in which they grow (so from base to tip) and for the fur to be lying in the right direction on every part of the cat's face and body.
Make an outline drawing of a cat, or use a photo, and make a note of all places where the fur changes direction. If in doubt when looking at your photo, go take a look at your cat (not that they'll make it easy!)
