Black cat pixel art questions

Why does black fur turn into a featureless shape?

The ear and tail gaps may be too small, or the background too close in tone. Preserve those spaces before adding whiskers or fur shading.

Which eye colors work best?

Choose a light or saturated eye color that separates from the fur. Keep each eye as a deliberate cluster rather than a single isolated sparkle when the face is small.

Can I use a black background?

Yes, with a lighter rim, face patch or separate backdrop shape that reveals the outline. Pure black fur against pure black gives no visible edge.

Choose a shape for your black cat

Start with a backdrop that separates from the darkest fur.
