does anyone know the best way or know where theres a tutorial for making big cat whiskers in cs5 please?

1px hard brush, white color, better if you have a tablet+pen, quick outgoing stroke, lower opacity if needed

thanks, but already tried that and they don\'t look very realistic, I only have a mouse so maybe thats the problem, I guess more oractice is required

I would say the best way is to make a path with the pen tool and then right click the path to make a stroke. Be sure to "simulate pressure" gives it a nice smooth realistic look.

hmm stroke the pen and stimulate pressure. God those adobe developers are dirty... or maybe thats just me.

Pretty much what Supak said.
Only I blow the head @ least 3 times.
Make the points a bit smaller and softer.
Reduce it to its original size.
Don't copy the otherside, but make new whiskers.



It's a cat, so I work with the mouse

i found this tutorial on line art very useful

it uses the technique WTD talked about with the stroke path thing.

thankyou
I'll give path a go
