Well I have added the finishing touches to my cat face. I have put some brown in my forehead and my cheeks and around my eyes to kind of blend the yellow and the brown and get that tabby look. Now I am ready for whiskers. Unless you want to stick on some plastic whiskers with glue and deal with that all night the easiest way to do this is to paint them on. I like to use my eye lining pen because it is liquid and it moves easily. But you can also use an eyebrow pencil. The cat has little pads and the whiskers come from those pads. So the first thing you want to do is give yourself some whisker points. You really don't need very many. As a matter of fact too many can kind of overwhelm your face and that will be what stands out. So maybe three little dots on either side would be enough to give the impression that whiskers are going to come from there. And the next thing is just to stroke your pen across your face in quick even strokes so that you have the idea or illusion of whiskers. Depending on what you are using and you don't have to have those whiskers come right from those dots. Those dots are there just to give you the illusion of whisker points. You don't want it really to be too dark or too fat because of course whiskers aren't. And again we are just giving the illusion of whiskers. I think I need one more here coming together, there. I am happy with that. I don't think I am going to change anything. I don't think I am going to add anymore whiskers. Alright now I have added the whiskers to my face so I put my base on of my yellow for my tabby, I put my white on to highlight, I put in my brown, I made my eyes, my nose and my mouth. I am ready to go to the party, but what am I going to do when I come home?
