Light blue is a standard to create a glaze effect, ironic how its applied first

Purple too, this is more of a pinkish hue and not dark

Orange patches on the fur

A touch of green makes everything realistic

Adding blue to brown makes blackC__Data_Users_DefApps_AppData_INTERNETEXPLORER_Temp_Saved Images_20228657_1603559802987895_670507671975515057_n.jpg

You can always retouch on the lighter colors. Shade with black and brown on the mouth

Pink or red on the nose, this adds life.
Then darken the shadows of the eyeballs by using grey. For a 3D effect. C__Data_Users_DefApps_AppData_INTERNETEXPLORER_Temp_Saved Images_20106721_1603560332987842_7089296589362397299_n.jpg

Darken the eyes! Then draw the fur using grey brown and orange. The background is night time so the lamp lights on the street causes the cats fur to be yellow.
