Beautiful fur! And eyes. And nose! Beautiful!
The only thing I woukd say is that the whiskers look too thick. I can see what you were trying to do, to keep them white so we could actually see them amoung the fuzziness, but I would only do one side with the outline, to act as a shading line - depending on where thre light is coming from. Maybe just draw the other line in pencil, as a guide for where to not ink.

I do love the effects you've used on him While writng this I kept scrolling up to have another gander. Do you mind if I ask what tool you use to get those effects?

That is a great idea! I was trying to teach myself to paint with india ink so i just used a medium sized bamboo brush for all of it.... not the smartest i know but i was just doodling.

Brilliant!


Really? Wow, so I've got to just be more careful with my brushes then. I'm not too good at painting, and I think I'm a little heavy handed and paint too thickly. More patience is needed!


I just checked through your gallery. Now I feel really stupid for critiquing. Your work is beautiful. I don't know a word to describe it. Even your 'doodles'. Auto-watch!
