Norwegian forest cat

I adore your use of pencils; the delicacy of your strokes and how you can see the minute details of the fur, all the changes in the tones, how it darkens and lightens according to the animal's markings, and how it's like each hair is visible, and with a very realistic shine. The nose is smooth and very lifelike, and the eye is astounding, clear and reflective and completely realistic. The tuffs of hair under the neck seem less realistic, perhaps it's the dark borders around the clear hair, if they were smoother they would look more lifelike; the fading of the figure into the background should be smoother, softer, so neither the composition or figure wouldn't suffer. Excellent technique!
