Easy kitten drawings. How to draw a beautiful cat with a pencil

Cats rule the Internet! Without a doubt, one day they will finally seize control of the world in general and humanity in particular. By drawing cats, you can understand what they are really made of. But you need to know the enemy by sight. But seriously, in this lesson we will get acquainted with anatomical structure cats and learn how to correctly depict them in illustrations.

Final result

1. Cat skeletal structure

Step 1

Studying the skeletal structure is the first step to drawing a believable pose. Everything else rests on the bones, and they primarily determine the range of possible movement of the body.

Step 2

Luckily, we don't have to remember the shape of every bone. It is enough to remember their length and the places where they connect to each other. Good news is also that most four-legged animals have a similar skeletal structure. Only the length of the bones and the distances between them differ. Learn this material now and you won't need to go back to these basics again.

You need to remember the structure of the skeleton as a group of ovals (joints, skull, chest, hips) and lines (bones, spine). Once you remember this, you can draw any cat pose.

Step 3

There is one more point to remember: each joint has its own range of motion. If you break these limits, your cat will look broken. To understand this range, take a close look at the animated image below. When running, a cat uses its joints in full range. As you can see, all movements look natural.

Things to note:

Start of the jump. The hind legs push off the ground.
When the hind legs move backward, the front legs move forward.
When the paws push off the ground, the part of the body to which they are attached remains at the original height. The second part of the body can rush upward.
Notice that the paw bones never line up in a straight line. Even when stretched to their maximum.
The moment of flight. Not a single pair of paws stands on the ground. The body is stretched as much as possible.
The front paws are in maximum readiness for landing.
The front legs are now fully extended. Again, they don't stretch out to a straight line.
Again, notice the difference in height.
Landing completed. The hind legs now tend to land at the same point.
Please note this point; it cannot move separately from the chest.
The movement of the tail is determined by the position of the hip joint.
When all paws are on the ground, front and rear end the buildings are on the same level.

Step 4

You may say, "I don't need this. I feel correct posture." Perhaps, but there are a few mistakes that most people make due to simple inattention.

This is a popular way to depict a skeleton. The error occurs due to the fact that we confuse the structure of the anterior and hind legs. It's different! Just compare your arms and legs.

The following pose is not natural, but is used quite often in animation, when characters move their paws like propellers. IN real world the hind legs are not capable of performing a range of motion of more than 120 degrees (even in cheetahs). Also, a real cat will strive to keep its head at the same level, and not lower it down (unless, of course, it is a zombie cat - there are such things in cartoons).

Which interesting structure skeleton! IN in this case the bones just stick out from the hip. The problem is that there are not only bones, but also to a large extent muscles. And this point cannot be ignored. Also in the first pose we see the front legs tucked in and the hind legs sitting. Small cats eat in this position, but their chest is not on the ground.

Another common mistake lies in habits. When cats walk normally, they first move two paws on one side, and then two paws on the other side. This error will go unnoticed by most people, but nevertheless it will not cease to be an error! True, during acceleration, cats switch to “diagonal” movement of their paws.

Step 5

You've learned all about poses. It's time to sketch your own drawing.

The structure of the cat muscular skeleton

Step 1

Muscles give the body its shape. You can draw a body without understanding the structure of the muscular skeleton, but guessing is not our way. The learning process may seem complicated at first glance, but later you will see that in reality everything is much simpler.

To begin, add simplified muscle forms to your sketch. Quite simple! If your cat is very fluffy, you won't need more. The muscles won't be visible anyway.

Step 2

This is what our cat looks like after she got basic set muscles.

Step 3

If you want to draw a smooth-haired cat, you will have to do more. Below you can see the outline of the largest muscles that may be visible. To avoid stress, just use this picture as a reference and draw from it. After a few exercises, the structure will be remembered by itself.

Step 4

Now our cat has muscle relief!

Step 5

Finally, one more thing. Cats have places where the skin hangs loosely, not tight around the muscles. If you have a cat, feel the area between the thigh and shin - you will only feel skin and fur! Because of this feature of the skin, the thigh and lower leg are difficult to distinguish while the cat is sitting.

Step 6

Draw these additional skin areas in your sketch.

3. How to draw cat paws

Step 1

A cat's back and front paws are different from each other, just like our arms are different from our legs. You can use them to visualize the structure. Cats walk on tiptoes, using only part of their “palm” for support. They also have " thumb"(in the form of a drop) and a small appendage (pea-shaped), but only on the front legs. The hind legs are generally very similar to our legs.

Step 2

Cat paws are designed in an absolutely amazing way. Their claws are “retractable,” but they don’t work quite the way we usually imagine. The claw is attached to the last bone of the finger. However, not to the extreme part of it, but closer to the base. Only when the claw is fully released does the joint move closer to the edge.

What does this mean for us? The claw, along with the small bone to which it is attached, is found on the outside of each finger. The claw is not located symmetrically on the finger! Look at photos of Sphynx cats - they have no hair and the structure of their claws is more visible.

Step 3

Below you can see a picture of the left and right front paws with their nails folded. Try repeating this position with your hands to understand where the forearm ends and the paw begins.

Step 4

Let's learn how to draw paws.

For the frontal angle: Draw four lines ending in a rock-shaped figure.
For a side view: draw four lines starting in an oval and ending in steps. The step in the middle should be sloping to the side.

Step 5

For the frontal view: draw four “eggs” at the end of each line in place of the stone figure.
For the side view: draw four “eggs” that will cover the last fold of the “steps”. Then connect the eggs with the lines.

Step 6

We will also need to add a bean-shaped shape (on the outside) for the hind legs, or an elongated shape (on the inside) for the front paws.

Step 7

Now let's cover the entire paw with fur. The fur grows over the claws in a special way: we cover it with fur only on top and on the sides.

Step 8

Fine. We dealt with the paw with folded claws. What about an angry cat who has released her claws? It's simple if you understand the anatomical part.

Step 9

Now our cat has paws.

4. Proportions of a cat's head

Depending on the breed, cat faces differ from each other. But there are rules by which you can draw a "typical" cat face.

Step 1

Draw two circles: one large, the second smaller. These are simplified forms of the head and muzzle.

Step 2

Divide the small circle into six approximately equal parts.

Step 3

Divide the center line into approximately six equal parts. This will help us find the right position for the nose and mouth.

Step 4

Draw a regular triangle between the lines as shown below. You can also start drawing the mouth.

Step 5

Draw the rest of the face features using the lines as guides.

Step 6

Now let's determine the location of the eyes. Add four auxiliary lines using already existing ones.

Step 7

Now all you have to do is add the eyes.

Step 8

If you're drawing a kitten, you'll need to change the proportions a bit and draw rounder, larger eyes.

Step 9

Add lines for the shapes of the ears and cheeks.

Step 10

Drawing a head in profile is no more difficult if you know how to place the auxiliary lines.

Step 11

Now we know how to draw the shape for the head. But this is still just a sketch. In the next steps we will look at each element individually.

5. How to draw cat eyes

Step 1

If you followed the previous steps, you should have an oval like this as the base for the eye.

Step 2

We have three elements around the eye itself: the edge of the lower eyelid, the upper lash line, and the dark area at the inner corner of the eye. Part of the third century can also be shown.

Step 3

Drawing the pupil:

Small members of the cat family have elongated pupils. It only becomes round in the dark.
In large representatives of this family, the pupil always remains round, only changing in size.

The size of the pupil can play a role in the realism of the illustration. If you draw a cat sitting on a sunny beach or in front of a fire big circle a small pupil, it will look unnatural.

Step 4

Add dark veins around the pupil and lighter ones in the rest of the eye. Place them in the direction from the pupil to the outer part of the eye.

Step 5

The eye consists of more than just the pupil and the apple. When you draw a human face, you draw in the eyelids, eyelashes, and eyebrows to make it appear more complete. For a cat's eye, we can add light areas around the eye and a dark hollow above it - this is a depression from which several vibrissae grow.

Step 6

When the eyes are closed, the cut turns into a dark stripe. Light areas become closer friend to a friend.

Step 7

Step 8

You already know what your eyes should look like. You can draw them on the face.

6. Draw the cat’s nose

Step 1

Let's start with an elongated figure in the shape of a crystal. Its lower part is usually darker.

Step 2

Draw two “wings” as nostrils.

Step 3

Draw the nostrils. They don't look like human nostrils, so be careful.

Step 4

Draw the bridge of the nose. It should be rounded at the top. Also on the sides the bridge of the nose will be darker, and the hair on it will be shorter.

Step 5

Now our cat has a nose!

7. How to draw cat ears

Step 1

Cat ears are not as simple as they seem. These are not just triangles, but complex structures that need to be learned to make the drawing seem more realistic.

Step 2

To draw the ear from a frontal angle, draw a circle. Then divide it into four parts, drawing lines at a slight angle.

Step 3

Use guide lines to draw the outer outline of the ear.

Step 4

Cats have a strange fold at the bottom of their ear. It's called a "tragus". It is quite difficult to draw it from this angle, but it is necessary. Draw a tragus and people will think you're a cat expert! :)

Step 5

Now you can draw tufts of hair. Their length and volume depend on the breed, but in general it is better to “attach” the hair to the inside of the shell, leaving the outside bare.

Step 6

But cats can move their ears! What about all the other provisions? You can use the same method to create the ears in any position. The main thing to remember is that the ear is actually much larger than it seems! The lower part is usually covered with fur (and you will have to draw it too). Look at this photo and you will understand which part of the ear we see and which is hidden.

Step 7

Now our cat has ears!

8. Draw a mustache for a cat

Step 1

The whiskers, or whiskers, constitute another sensory organ for the cat. Vibrissae grow above the cat's upper lip, above the eyes, above the chin, and behind the paws. These “hairs” grow from dark “hollows” in the cat’s fur. We have already drawn such hollows above the eyes. Now draw smaller ones on the muzzle.

Step 2

Cats have 12 whiskers on each side, but you don't have to stick to that number exactly. 13 on the left, 15 on the right - everything is in order! The main thing is to draw them thin and light. Also, their length should be greater than the length of half the head.

9. Drawing fur

Step 1

The length of the fur determines the shape of the head. The head of a cat without hair is triangular in shape. The more hair, the smoother the shape of the head. Draw the cat's fur medium length and the head will become round (by the way, this is why kittens seem cuter to us). If your cat is long-haired, then the shape of its head becomes trapezoidal.

Step 2

The body shape also depends on the length of the coat. Short hair will emphasize the cat’s thin body, while long hair will make it appear larger. If you are just learning to draw, you always start with short hair. Then experiment with the length as you wish.

Master class on drawing for children from 5 years old “Cats of our yard”

The master class is designed for older children preschool age, schoolchildren, teachers and parents.
Drawing- one of the favorite activities of children. Most children boldly take on any visual material. But unfortunately, not everyone is able to transfer what they have planned onto a piece of paper. IN this master class A methodology for teaching drawing using algorithmic schemes has been proposed.
The proposed algorithms are simple and rational.
Target: Teach children to draw animals using algorithmic diagrams.
Tasks:
- to cultivate in children an interest and desire to engage in artistic creativity.
- cultivate patience and perseverance,
-develop creative thinking,
- strengthen the ability to draw round and oval shapes.
To work you will need:
-sheet of paper,
- paints or pencils (watercolors were used in this master class)
- a simple pencil,
-brush,
-water.

Progress of the lesson:

"Cats of our yard"
It was raining outside the window. Fedka went to the window, sighed heavily, that's why that he won’t be able to go for a walk today. Probably his cat, sitting on the window and looking at the falling raindrops, thought the same thing as Fedka. The cat's name was Vaska, he was red-haired and loved to walk on warm sunny days. Vaska was not walking alone, he had friends from our yard.
The cat on the second floor was called Tikhan, he was black in color, and a white woolen path ran from his pink nose to the tip of his tail. Tikhan was the master in the yard that even the dogs were afraid of him, and once again they preferred not to meet him. Tikhan really loved to fight.
In the summer, grandsons came to Grandma Shura from the first floor and brought their cat Murka. Murka had a smoky color, her fur was soft like plush. Murka loved to sleep on the windowsill and watch people passing by.
And not so long ago another red cat, Murzik, appeared in our yard; he was given to a girl named Olya for her birthday. Murzik is still very small and restless, he loves to hide everywhere, run around in bags, and sometimes he climbs to the very top of the carpet hanging on the wall. All cats, like people, are very different, each has its own character and appearance. These are the cats of our yard.
-Guys, let's try to draw the cats that are described in the text.

This is what cats we got.

The kitten is fiddling with a ball:
Then he will creep up to him secretly,
Then he will start throwing himself at the ball,
He will push him, jump to the side...
Can't guess
That there is no mouse here. And the ball.
(author A. Barto.)

The cat is one of the most favorite animals among children. Cats attract them with their fluffy fur and affectionate playful disposition. In ancient times, cats were considered sacred animals. And still some people are convinced that these animals can heal people.

It doesn't take much skill to draw a cat. With the help of video and photos, we will see step by step how you can easily and beautifully depict the figure of a cat.

How to draw a cartoon kitten:

cartoon pussy

You can draw a cartoon cat for children in an easy and original way in four steps. The video and photo provide detailed instructions on how to do this step by step.

We draw a circle beveled at the top - the head - and an ovoid body.
Add a raised tail.
We draw the eyes and nose, and use a curved line to divide the body in half.
We depict the cat's pupils and whiskers.
Color the drawing in purple shades.

Kitty pencil step by step

This is how you can quickly and beautifully depict a cartoon cat.

Muzzle

If you do not want to depict a cat in full height, you can draw only the animal's face. Let's see how to draw a cat's face step by step. Easy drawing and is accessible even for children.

Draw a circle and two smooth lines We divide it into four unequal parts.
We place the nose and mouth in the center, and to the right and left of the center are the cat’s eyes.
On the head in the form of two triangles we depict the ears, below - the contours of the neck.

Cat's face in pencil

So, it won’t be difficult to draw the animal’s face beautifully and correctly.

To profile

To depict the cat's face in profile, we start with the same circle. Divide the circle in half horizontally. We draw in the ears and lengthen the circumference with the contours of the nose. On the line we draw the eyes and nose, a little lower - the mouth. We clarify the contours of the ears and remove the circle. We get an easily and beautifully drawn face. Stages of drawing a cat's face in profile

With kittens (1st option)

It will be interesting for children to draw a cat with kittens. However, the drawing is complicated by the fact that in this case you no longer need a separate figure, but a whole composition. You can easily and correctly depict a cat with kittens in stages as follows.

1. Draw an oval (the body and the center of the composition), and a circle on the bottom right.

Stage 1: draw an oval and a circle

2. At the next stage, draw the head and contour of the body.

Stage 2: draw the head and outline of the torso

Stage 3: outline the kittens with a trapezoid

4. Draw a kitten in the middle and the cat’s front paw.

Stage 4: draw the front paw and the kitten in the middle

5. We finish drawing the rest of the kittens, hind legs and tail.

Cats are very beautiful and graceful pets that children adore. And little artists often ask mom or dad to draw their favorite pet on paper. And even if adults themselves do not have the talent of a painter, step-by-step drawing will come to the rescue. Based on consistent patterns, even a five-year-old child can create in the picture the image of an adult cat or a small mischievous kitten. At school age, children should be offered more intricate options, for example, images of realistic cats and popular cartoon characters.

Age features of drawing a cat

It is advisable to teach a child to draw a cat from the age of five: it is at this age that the child is already able to create a more or less believable image, so there is no need to rush things.

Before you start creative process, it is advisable to consolidate with your son or daughter the knowledge of basic geometric shapes (this will be needed in the process of work) and teach them to depict them correctly. These are circle and oval, triangle, square and rectangle.

To draw an animal well, a child must be able to correctly depict geometric shapes

You should definitely consider a live cat with a novice artist (a ceramic figurine or a realistic soft toy would be an option). In this case, the adult focuses on the proportionality of the body, the ratio of the sizes of the head and torso, the location of the eyes, ears on the face, etc.

If there is no real cat at home, then you can consider a realistic soft toy with your child.

Since preschool children do not yet understand proportions very well, you can start drawing with cartoon cats. They often have a disproportionately large head, a cheerful coloring, a funny expression on their muzzle (smile, wide open eyes, tongue sticking out), dressed up in bows and other accessories.

Cartoon cats are distinguished by irregular proportions, cheerful colors, smiles and other features.

WITH younger schoolchildren You can now start drawing realistic cats. Children already understand that the head of an animal cannot be too big or small, the tail must be long (practically full length). An adult and child should look at photographs of cats in various poses: lying, sleeping, sitting, jumping. At the same time, attention is drawn to how the animal arches, how it folds its legs and tail.

An adult first discusses with a schoolchild what pose a cat can be drawn in

The images of cartoon animals become more intricate: an adult teaches a child to give a cat a mood: surprise (wide open mouth), sadness (downward sloping corners of the mouth), thoughtfulness (pupils shifted to the side), fear (wide open eyes). There are a lot of options here, since children's imagination knows no bounds.

Selection of tools and materials

Since a cat can be drawn in various techniques, then for work little artist will be needed various materials. These are colored pencils wax crayons, felt-tip pens (many children like to trace the outline with them and emphasize details), gouache (since drawing a cat in watercolor already requires more high skill). In any case, you will need a sharpened pencil and an eraser (to correct defects and erase auxiliary lines).

As a basis, you should prepare white paper A4 format or colored cardboard (if the child draws with gouache).

How to draw a cat with a pencil step by step

Joining animalistic genre painting should begin with simple circuits drawing animals. One of these options is a cat made of circles. An adult shows a child a funny picture of an animal's body. mostly consists of round shapes (there are also triangles - ears and nose).

The cat in the picture has a round body, head and cheeks, the rest of the details complement them

Then follows the imaging process according to the diagram. For example, to depict a sleeping cat, you need to draw a large circle, inside it - a small one (in the lower part, in contact with the large one, the ratio is approximately 1:2). Next, the image is supplemented with ears, nose, eyes closed and the animal's whiskers. Completes the look long tail, enveloping the body of the animal. All that remains is to decorate the animal to your liking.

The circles in the drawing are the main parts of the cat’s body, which are simply supplemented with the necessary details

When the child masters drawing round cartoon cats, you can move on to the next stage of mastery - realistic image animal, for example, sitting. First, the cat's head is indicated in the form of an oval. The oval will also be the basis of the body shape. Here you need to maintain proportions: vertically the oval is slightly longer than the length of the head oval taken twice, and horizontally the width of the body is slightly less than the head oval taken twice. In this case, the head and torso slightly overlap each other. The next stage is drawing the ears, front and hind legs of the animal.

At the first stage, the main parts of the animal’s body are schematically indicated in the form of ovals, paws and ears are added

Then, using auxiliary lines, the child depicts the cat’s face: nose, mouth, eyes and mustache.

Eyes, nose, mouth and mustache are depicted with oprah on auxiliary lines

Auxiliary lines are combined into the final drawing, which remains only to be colored.

On last stage the cat is being painted

Drawing a lying kitten is also not a very difficult task. Again, the head and body are indicated by ovals, and then the muzzle, ears, paws and a beautiful tail are drawn. In this case, the head can be positioned in profile and full face (this does not affect its shape). The child needs to be explained that in the first case, only one eye is drawn (the second is not visible).

A lying kitten is also drawn based on ovals

Photo gallery: diagrams of step-by-step drawing of a cat

A kitten made from semicircles turns out to be very funny. The cat’s character is conveyed by the eyes. The most important stage is drawing the face. Thanks to the observance of proportions, the cat turns out to be very realistic. This kitten resembles the cartoon character Smeshariki. The cat’s body is made up of circles. different sizes The body of a cat is made up of ovals Drawing a cat begins with a heart The shape of a cat is the most elementary, the task is to color it beautifully A cartoon cat is drawn very simply The body of an animal consists of circles, ovals and rectangles

Draw a face

After the child learns to depict cats in different poses, you should dwell in more detail on the drawing of the muzzle (full face, profile and three-quarter turn).

First, an auxiliary shape is drawn - a circle, auxiliary lines are outlined (vertical and two horizontal). Large slanted eyes are depicted and there must be hairs above them - this will make the cat portrait more charming. The nose can be made to look like a heart. At the bottom of the circle there will be cheeks in the shape of semicircles.
Auxiliary lines will help make the muzzle proportional
To make the cat more cute, you should shade the corners of the eyes. After this, the head is drawn to the desired shape: it expands on the sides of the circle. Ears are added.
The muzzle increases in width and ears appear
For maximum realism, all that remains is to shade the ears, sketch out the lines of the neck and draw the mustache. The cat has twelve hairs on each side (although this is not important in the picture).
An indispensable attribute of any cat is long whiskers.
A cat's face can also be drawn based on a square. Draw a figure and divide it into four equal parts.
The square is the basis of the muzzle
Focusing on the grid, we depict the ears, eyes, mouth, cheeks and nose in proportion.
The grid allows you to maintain all proportions
Erase the auxiliary lines.
We remove the auxiliary lines, and the muzzle becomes lifelike
Now let’s give freedom to imagination: paint the cat in natural shades or create an unexpected fantastic image.
Why not paint it with a fantasy pattern?

Photo gallery: diagrams for drawing a cat's face

The muzzle is drawn based on a circle and auxiliary lines. The eyes, nose and mouth are drawn in any order, without auxiliary lines. Using the eyes and mouth, you can give the cat a certain character. The image is made up of segments, which are then smoothed into smooth lines

Drawing an anime cat

Anime is a popular Japanese animation. This is not just animation, but a special perception of life, a cultural layer with its own unique characters and types.

For children of different ages I like playful and charming anime cats. These are fantasy images with huge expressive eyes. Its head is often larger than its body. Of course, the child will take on the image of this cute animal with great enthusiasm.

Anime cats are charming and playful, their indispensable attribute- huge expressive eyes

You can offer the young animal artist the following algorithm:

Photo gallery: diagrams of step-by-step drawing of anime

A simple diagram for drawing - an almost symmetrical figure. The drawing is based on circles and ovals. The highlight of the image is a tousled forelock and cheeks.

Drawing Angela

U modern children A popular game for tablets and smartphones with talking cats - Tom and Angela. Cute fluffy cat with anthropomorphic features (in beautiful dress) may well become an object for drawing. Distinctive feature hers are huge slanting eyes.

Children love to draw characters from their favorite cartoons and games.

The child can portray Angela in full height in one pose or another, or draw her portrait. Let's take a closer look at the last option.

Drawing with gouache

To draw a fluffy beauty, you can use gouache. This material is even suitable young artists: the paint does not need to be diluted with water (like watercolor), but simply dipped into it with a brush. The compositions are saturated, the color is perfectly visible even on colored paper. When working with gouache, it is easy to correct any mistake. In addition, the paint dries quickly, so you can paint one color on top of another without them mixing.

Using gouache you can get interesting colors of cat fur - for example, a mixture of shades of gray, pink and orange.

The adult reminds the child that it is better to use a thick brush to draw the silhouette of an animal, and a thinner one to draw details.

How to draw by cells

A popular technique among schoolchildren is drawing by cells. In this way you can create the image of any animal, including a cat. This activity is not only interesting, but also useful, as it develops fine motor skills, attention, improves orientation in space, cultivates perseverance and patience.

By the way, this activity is also useful for adults: it stimulates brain function and trains memory.

To draw a cat, it is quite possible to use an embroidery pattern (with beads or cross stitch). The image can be black and white or color (more complex, especially if you need to display the play of shades). Of course, cats using this technique always turn out cartoonish.

Schoolgirls love to decorate their diaries with similar designs.

Today we will draw a cat with a simple pencil , but not in terms of an animal cat, but specifically her, a girl. How, you ask, is the difference between a cat and a cat? Well, probably the one who didn’t live with them will ask. An avid cat lover knows the difference: cats are smaller in size, they have a cute, small muzzle, while a cat can have a large and often impudent muzzle)). The cat is generally proud and a more characteristic comrade. Cats are usually more affectionate.

But enough talking about cats, let's draw them. As a result, we will get a cat like this, you can color it to your liking. If you don’t like this drawing, choose from us more than 20 drawing lessons!

Drawing a cat step by step

Let's draw a blank. No, this is not a snowman, as you might think, this is our future cat =).
There is no need to press hard on the pencil; these are auxiliary circles, which we will then partially erase. Please note that we are drawing exactly a girl, you can see it along the upper circle, it is slightly narrowed downwards, because A cat does not have a completely round face.

We draw ears - triangles. Paws according to our blanks. And a ponytail.
It seems a little ridiculous for now, but we are sure to get a beautiful one.
Note that the outer lines of the paws come straight from the neck.

Erase the extra lines that we drew in step No. 1. Draw a nose. All that remains is to enter the necessary details, we will do this in the next step.

We detail our cat, draw auxiliary lines that will give the cat the “correct body”, pay attention to the eyes and claws. Contour lines we make it a little clearer and fatter than the internal ones.

Step #5.

We draw mustaches and coloring. To give a cat this color, you need to shade the stripes on the body and face with a pencil. On the tail we make bolder and wider strokes.
That's it, our cat is ready, and if you paint it, you'll get another bright cat.

Such a cat can be drawn in the editor on a tablet (graphics tablet).
