What a gorgeous cat and very well painted. I love his eyes and nose too. Not always the easiest to paint. I noticed Kate said she uses Photoshop for whiskers also. I have a nice preset for the pen tool in AR if you are interested.

And try to ease the way

Here you are. The size I usually use is 2-3% and I touch the base of the whisker where it comes out of the animal very lightly with the palette knife. Sometimes I will alter the opacity of the layer. Play with it until you find what suits you.

Nice one, Limey G. Like a slice of life and a portrait all in one.
