Cat Diamond Painting

A close-up with clear eyes, nose and muzzle gives the chart more room to define the expression. Full-body cats in busy rooms or gardens can still work well, but less of the grid is devoted to the face.

A whisker may be only one drill wide, so very thin lines have to be simplified when the image is charted. Designs with strong whisker contrast and a larger face preserve them better.

Yes. That is what the custom diamond painting option is for. A sharp photo with a well-lit face, visible eyes and good separation from the background gives the best starting point for a pet portrait.
