How to Draw
a Cat

Sketch loose guidelines for the outline of the cat's body and head with a soft lead pencil like a #2B found in art stores.

More details are added to the cat. Use guidelines to mark the location of the cat's eyes, nose and mouth.

Lightly sketch the cat's face. The cat's tail, legs and feet are taking shape.

The final lines for the drawing should be loose and rough to indicate the cat's fur. This outline should be darker than the guides. The guidelines can be erased.

Fun Art Project
