The ability to draw may not be a primary skill for an ordinary person, but it allows you to have a great time. In addition, it is nice to see your work at exhibitions, even amateur ones. Let's talk about how to learn how to draw cats.
Instructions
Step 1
Let's start with the eyes. This is the most expressive element of a cat's face. To make them look realistic and vivid, paint them with a darker tone at the top, gradually lightening the eye color downward. White highlights will add sparkle to your cat's eyes.
Step 2
The cat's head is drawn based on two slightly flattened circles. By drawing a vertical line in the middle, you can facilitate the task of placing symmetrical parts on both sides of the face.
Step 3
Mark the nose with a small inverted triangle. Constructive lines drawn from it will help to correctly position the ears and eyes. You can give the cat's nose a more realistic shape with soft lines. Draw the mouth in the shape of an upside-down English letter "Y". Erase all constructive lines and paint the muzzle.
Step 4
Cats are mobile creatures. It is not so easy to depict them in motion, as they are fast and take different, sometimes incredible poses. First, make a simple sketch of the general outline of the moving cat's body. If the pose is too static, make a new sketch. When you achieve flying smooth lines, you can start drawing, in fact.
Step 5
Use simple geometric shapes to mark the individual parts of the cat's body. It is better to do this with a soft pencil with little or no pressure. Draw in detail the head of the cat, herself. Then erase the extra guide lines of the sketch and color in the cat.
Step 6
Apply the pale beige color first. Now apply another coat of paint to the areas below. Now the body of the cat can be painted with yellow-brown stripes. Apply the stripes to follow the contours of the cat's body. Hatch shading will add extra dimension to the image. If the cat is drawn in light, it is better to use yellow or beige tones for this. If you paint a cat at night, its fur may appear blue.
Step 7
Kittens are drawn in a slightly different way. They have plump and less proportional bodies. So their heads in comparison with the whole body are larger than that of an adult cat. They have a reduced distance between the hind and front legs and look more awkward than adult cats and cats. And the smaller the kitten, the less proportional its body. Otherwise, kittens are drawn in much the same way.
