First try at stencils, rake brush, & full face cats!

Okay, we've all seen a zillion cats, but I thought I'd share...these were my first attempt at a full face leopard and tiger on myself, other than the more simple/quick tigers I've done on kids. Full faces always creep me out a little but they're starting to grow on me. ;-) Tricky as I'm SO blind without my glasses! But, I wanted to share the leopard especially since I just ordered some animal print stencils from istencils.com (heard about in a recent stencil string) and this was my first result! Great way to get a quick pattern down and have more time to focus on other details! This was also my first try using a rake brush. Sooo great for fur! I'm not lovin' the whiskers though. Any tips/advice/criticism welcome!!
