This is Danielle's cat, Mandy. I'm not sure what breed she is, but her head is white with just that cap around her eyes and forehead being black.
There's a big shadow on the right hand side of the face (our right), just a bit below the eye, in roughly the middle of the white fur that isn't meant to be there. Damn scanner. It's meant to be the same "white" as the fur around it. If anyone could fix that on Photoshop for me, I'd be very grateful, as I don't have Photoshop anymore.
Overall, I'm sort of happy with the turn out. The whiskers are horrible, as I forgot to mark those out before I started the fur, and the right cheek (our right) is rather fat looking, due to a bad beginning outline where I forgot to fluff up that side, but it sure seems to look a lot better than all my other animals. I'm always going to have trouble with cat noses, because just as I get the hang of one part, the other part slips away from me.
Anyway, I've got to get this framed and wrapped in the next 10 or 15 minutes, so I'll stop this here. Later all.
Looks good! The fur texture is really good and the eyes are great! You should still pay more attention to the proportions, though. One eye is smaller than the other and the face is too long. Cats have bigger eyes and shorter faces. Anyway, I think you've improved a lot. This is one of your best animal portraits so far!

Thanks for the epic comment as always ^_^. The eyes did start off bigger than that... I'm not sure what happened. I will focus more in the future, if I do any more portraits. I usually drift off and muck up somewhere .
Very nice, but I also agree with about the proportions, fur detail is great too. Also I noticed she has a bit of a glassy eyed look, like she been taxidermed. but still epic.
