Description This one was pretty fast to draw, I like the result but I need to practice more the thin white lines, any advice? I made it with my eraser pen.

  Scotch blue painters tape. 
Cut in 1mm +/- wide strips and place where you want whiskers to be.
Draw your picture ... then remove tape to reveal perfect thin white lines.

Erasing, you can always try using / making an erasure shield for fine lines.

No probs, I've always gotten stuck on white whiskers.

Erasure shields are about $5 here, but you can make them out of anything (plus make your own shapes) ... plastic ice cream lids, butter lids, even packaging, as long as it's clean, flat and can be cut with scissors. ... And if it's clear, even better, as then you can see what is about to be erased.

Scotch Painters tape is good to, as when cut thin, you can bend it to make curves, and removes without damage ... I've had this tape on one drawing for two years and it's still not left any marks, or sticky residue.

Automotive tape (pin stripe tape) is already thin, but the adhesive can damage the paper when removed.

Then there's scribing, use a needle point, or old ballpoint with no ink, make indentation marks / lines in the paper, so as you draw, it'll stay white where the indentations are. ... This technique isn't the easiest, but when done well it's one of the best.

Mark Crilley, how to draw a kitten. . at 20:00 even he says his way is time consuming. . . but for lighter sketches it looks very convincing (much like your whiskers).

Happy testing !!

Qu'il est mignon ce dessin où tu as dessiné un chat laissant un papillon se poser sur son nez, c'est très poétique et il est tellement bien réalisé qu'on croirait que tu t'es basé sur une photo d'un chat tant ton empreinte graphique lui apporte beaucoup de réalisme.
