Which styles should I avoid for a black cat?

None are off limits, but pencil sketch on white paper and watercolour give softer results. Charcoal, oil and renaissance are the strong choices.

Does a small white patch on the chest get kept?

Yes. Markings are checked against the photo, however small, so a white locket stays.

Your black cat, painted properly

Black cats photograph badly and paint beautifully. The styles that build form from light rather than dark give a black cat the depth a phone camera never manages, with the eyes as the centre of it all.

The photo

Getting the one photo that matters

The portrait can only be as good as the photo. These four things make the difference.

Soft side light from a window; never a flash and never backlit.
Expose for the cat, not the room: tap on the face on your phone.
A lighter background helps the silhouette read.
Get the eyes open and lit; they carry the whole portrait.

FAQ

Questions owners ask

No. The recommended styles describe the face with highlights on the eyes, nose, ears and fur edges, so the shape and expression come through clearly.

Print sizes are where the file stays sharp at arm’s length. Larger frames work too, they just look softer up close. Printed and framed delivery is on the way; for now you print with the shop or service you trust.
