Black Cat Looking Upward with Luminous Whiskers

High-contrast monochromatic feline portrait rendered through precise line-work technique. Subject positioned in three-quarter view with head tilted upward, predominantly charcoal-black fur rendered with directional strokes creating volumetric depth. Pronounced whiskers radiate outward with luminescent white highlights against dark background. Facial features defined through careful gradation: closed or narrowed eyes, defined nose and mouth structure. Gradient background shifts from black to mid-gray, creating dimensional separation. Technical execution employs cross-hatching and linear marks for texture definition, demonstrating controlled light-to-shadow transitions.
