Hello everyone, here is a portrait of a cat I finished. would appreciate any comments!

Very nice, @ArtGal. Beautiful cat!  I like the way you left the background rough. 

ArtGal

thank you so much!!!

PaulB

That's a well-captured gaze. You've caught this guy watching something, not just staring into space.  I find this realistic.

ArtGal

thank you Paul!!!

Renoir

Beautiful! You've really captured the grace and loveliness of your feline friend. 

ArtGal

thank you both @PaulB and @Renoir!!!

It's fine as is but if you want to tweak the highlights on the nose it might be even better. The fur is good and I love the way the outline edges blur into the background; something mysterious which is a trait all cats convey at one time or another if not always. Does it have a name? I like Pyewacket.

Jiashen

The cat definitely has a character! Agree with @BOB73 about the subtlety of highlight on the nose.

ArtGal

@BOB73 - thank you for your comment, you're absolutely right.
Pyewacket - ha ha! i love that, his name is Gucci though. 

ArtGal

@Jiashen - thank you! I agree with @BOB73 as well!
