How to draw a cat

 

Cats can be very hard to draw because of their complex

 markings and varied poses. Often a thin cat will

look very fat when sitting . Sometimes when

you try to add the body and legs,

it just doesn't look quite right.

 

But we believe that drawing a cat can

be pretty easy if you break it down

into some simple steps. If you have a

cat of your own, watch it ...

 

                                Step 1:

 

Yup, just a circle.

 

       Step 2:

At this point our cat looks something  like the way people describe aliens from another planet. Cats can have almond-shaped eyes or round eyes. Note that the eyes are placed about in the middle of our circle.
  Step 3:
  We've added a V for the nose.  For the mouth we've placed a straight line under the nose, with two lines on each side. The ears are placed on  each side of  the head; they look a little like leaves.
    Step 4 :We've added some detail such as whiskers,
 and stripes. We also filled in the ears
to make them look more realistic.
In this drawing we made the nose
V into a triangle, and turned it slightly


can keep yours straight if you want to.

Step 5:

The main thing to remember when doing
a cat's body is to be sure to place
the head on its body (you almost never
see a cat's neck). Now this tip may
sound silly, but lots of people don't
quite make the connection.
Make the front legs with three
straight lines. The paws can be
indicated with three U-type lines.
The best part of drawing a cat is
 adding unique markings. They can be
stripes for a tabby, spots or anything
you think would be fun. Most black cats
have a spot of white at their necks, and
sometimes some white in their ears too.
