I start with the face and ears...
Draw in this direction. Try and do it in one continuous line.
Next, the tail...and butt (tee hee)
Cats’ tails are very expressive. Here are a few different tail-spressions: Relaxed, Angry, Scared, Playful.
Give the poor cat some legs already! Don’t forget the tiny kitty toes. Aww! Follow the same basic outline but make your line squiggly for a fluffy cat.
Let’s draw the face now. Try out some different expressions – disdainful (default), shocked, happy, angry, sleepy, guilty, noisy, windy.
Add some essential details – Whiskers, food bowl, jaunty hat, snazzy bow tie, fur, expensive toys that he never plays with.
Artists Tip: Look at some real cats (or just look on the Internet, it’s basically made of cats) and try drawing their markings. You can simplify them to get a good, graphic effect…or just make it up!
