I have just finished the portrait of "Smoke" the Korat cat and here it is above. This is done in graphite pencil with the eyes and the background done in colored pencil. To make the whiskers, I use white acrylic paint and a very thin brush. I find it works better than trying to do it with colored pencil or graphite pencil. Another interesting thing I discovered while doing this portrait. I discovered that turpenoid works well with graphite pencil too. I will have to explore this technique a bit further. This is the first time I have tried to mix graphite pencil with turpenoid.
As soon as I get the check in the mail from my client, I will mail this portrait to her.
