*The dot on each pupil should be left unpainted.
*Whiskers can be left unpainted, or you can use your lightest color.
*Second Coat: Using some of your lightest color, mix a bit into other fur colors for highlights.
*Highlights should be more prominent on the areas where I've drawn extra lines (see image).

*If you're nervous about blending, try dotting the paint on, using alternating colors.
*If you're having trouble seeing numbers on your work plan, take a picture with
your device, then stretch the image to zoom in. Or, email me and I'll send you
a .jpg of your work plan.
