So now that our first layer is dry, I'd like to start adding our striping to take some of the color that was on my palette and add a little more of vermilion hue to that. Then I'm going to mix in some of this deep yellow makes a brush full of water and then create a sharp point with my brush. And now I'm going to make the stripes and the stripes on the cat are kind of important the direction they go. So I'm going to start in the center at the top here, and I'm going to start just off center to my left, and I'm just going to pull a loose stripe down towards the nose. And I want the base of it where it meets the top of the head to be thicker than the bottom. And I'll do the same thing opposite here as well.

And I'd like to make some kind of rough marks here. So it doesn't look like a perfectly straight line. With the tip of my brush, I'll go in between them and create a little line. Again, I'll go back and make it a little wider at the base. Then I'll come here and make some shorter lines underneath the ears coming down. And I'll take my brush and just kind of flick up top here on the inside of the ears.

And again, this is a light color, it will dry light. It'll go right to the top. Just add some color. I'm going to take my brush, kind of create a sharp point unless I can and I'll go from the inside of the eye and just down a little bit. I'll do that on both sides. And from there, I'm going to post some stripes underneath the eyes echoing the shape of the eye was open.

And then I'll create some stripes this way Well going out, pull some stripes and then underneath it, I'm just going to come down long here just like this. On the side of the face, I'm going to pull some stripes just up in the direction going out. And then I'll come in and I'm just going to kind of create a little bit of a shadow, a darker area on the edge. Pull my color down a little, just the top. gonna switch brushes to my smaller brush. Pick up a little of that pigment and I'll create the outline on my face.

Make light strokes all the way around. Then we take that brush and starting on the outside, I'm going to work my way in. Again, widest on the outside and narrow as I go in. I'll do this a couple of stripes on either side of the face. Maybe three. Take my brush, and I'm gonna, just gonna very carefully make some stripes from the inside right at the base of the nose going out.

And I'll connect these stripes over here as well. I'm gonna take my brush, I'm just going to make some dots in this light orange here, just on this little area over here of the mouth. With the same color, I'm going to go and create a light layer on the nose. So I'll make the outline. dip my brush and water and just blend that out so it becomes very pale and I'll let this layer completely dry.
