This afternoon, I'll keep working on Mac. I'm just starting to do the detail of the fur, and beginning the eyes. A lot of small changes of things here and there (layering colors) will be done until I get him where I want. Black cats have purple highlights and bits of light gray. Mac also has undertones of some brown, so I still have a little bit of work to do with his coloring. Mac is also darker than the printout of the photo from my computer. My customer sent a lot of photos of all 3 cats that I will use for reference while painting each one.
Mac is a smug tough-looking kind of fellow...I want to make sure I capture that look in his eyes. lol
