How To Draw Cartoony Cats

1. Introduction: Hello and welcome to easy drawing cute and cartoony cats. My name is Krista and I made a fun and easy course for you. Here are some of the things that you will learn how to draw using basic shapes. What makes cats cute and cartoony? How to relax and be playful. Draw 11 cats in different pulses and situations. How to enhance your drawing skills in an easy way. And tips for developing your confidence. Also, drawing cute and cartoony cats is like two gifts in one. Learning a new skill and be very happy at the same time. That is hard to beat. 2. Simple Cat: I thought we will start by drawing a very simple cat front view. We will start by drawing a simple shape, a circle looking something like this. We will draw a guide line in the middle here, and another guideline in this direction. Then we will use half of the circle to see how big the body will be. So we'll draw another line here. We will make a little box looking something like this. It's a little bit smaller than the width of the head. When it comes to guide lines, lines don't worry if they are very rough, If they are tilted a little bit or a little bit crooked in the end, when you finish your drawing, it will look very good. Why we place guidelines like this is that it's much easier to have reference points where, for instance, place the eyes, the nose and how big certain things are. We're going to use this guideline for placing two eyes. Go ahead and draw two circles, one on each side of the middle guideline there. Now you can use this guideline to place them approximately the same place on each side there. We can also go ahead and define eyes may be a little bit better, we'll see what we're doing, something like that, and I don't have to be exactly the same size. Then we will leave a little bit of a room here on the top of the eye as she shade the rest of the eye slightly. Why I leave a little bit of room on top here is that it gives the character a little bit more life with this little glimmer there. Now we have drawn the eyes. We can have another little guideline here, and this is where we're going to place the nose. The nose will be a triangle, looking a bit like that. And then we will draw two curved lines up to the nose. The cat is smiling. Yes, that looks good. It's always nice to draw a happy character. Now we can completely the headline, I worry if the head is a little bit wobbly and it's not a 100% round circle, it will look cute Anyway, we can also use this point, the guideline, to draw two lines out on need side hair that is in the middle of these two points and these two points and we're going to use it to place the ears. So go ahead and draw a triangle. Then we will have another smaller triangle to show the inner shape of the ear. Then we can go ahead and do the same on the other side. Up like that and up like that, there you have your first cat head. Now we can go ahead and do the body, and instead of having the squared, it looks a little bit strange when it comes to cat, we will draw a much rounder form starting from the head stair to where the guideline meets the head round shape. Then you do the same on the other side, looking something like that. When it comes to, if you feel the line is not 100% what you want to be, just use your eraser. It's your best friend. Remember this, that you're not after drawing something that is perfect. This is just an exercise. So feel free to be draw as many crooked and wrong lines as you want to because it's just an exercise and this is about learning and not Making a masterpiece. We're going to put some front legs here to you and we're going to draw them and using this middle guideline to draw them on each side. If you have a problem to find the same width, just use your pencil and you'll see that they're approximately the same size, the same width. And we're going to make the corners a little bit around there on each side. Here, the same here. You can draw as many guidelines as you want to to see that you are placing each line approximately the same place that you want them to be. Now we can complete the line where the cat, the cat is sitting. Yes, I think we should put a little tail on this one too. And we will draw it out here from this side, not all the way down. We will leave a little bit of room there and draw a quite fluffy tail looking something like that. Big band up. I'm trying to make this area a little bit wider than this area. You get a very nice fluffy shape to one side. Of course, we should put some whiskers here too. We can place them either in here, but when you have a lot of details in the face and not so much rooms, it's always good to move them a little bit outside here. Go ahead and draw three whisker lines on each side. Looking a bit like that, I try to make the top whisker longer than other ones. There you go. There's a very good start. And I have to say also why I use a blue pencil to start with it is that I just want to sketch around and find the lines and draw as many guidelines as I want to. Later on, I will use a black pencil to define the lines. If you don't want to do it this way, you can start straight up with a black pencil, it's no problem. But I recommend you to at least try it with a colored pencil to start with. Because when you have a rough sketch in the beginning, it's so much easier to go ahead and find the lines that you're looking for when you're using black pencil. Later on also, you can leave all these blue lines to see what you're actually been working on. It's almost like you're drawing a little bit of a blueprint and it's like a memory, a reminder for you to see what you have been doing. It. Nicer way to learn a new skill when it comes to drawing. To see your progress. I started to complete the headline and then do the ears, and now we're going to do the eyes, trying to make them as round as possible. Then we're going to make sure that we are leaving that little space of light there. And then we're going to do a little bit of shading here when it comes to making things looking cute. It's good to have in mind that things that are very round when it comes to shapes like a round head and big round eyes is very good also that the proportions of a character, if you have a very big head and very big eyes compared to the rest of the body, makes it much more acute when you're drawing, trying to keep these proportions. If you want the character to look cute, I will do a shading in the other direction also. This is if you want to have your shadow even and you have a problem with that, you can start by shading it in one direction and then you do a cross shading later on that should make it easier for more even look. We'll do the same with other too. Don't worry if the shading lines are going outside of any lines. It doesn't matter. It will be as you, that is noticing that when you complete the drawing, all those little things fade away. It's going to make sure that I, strengthening the line, les around eyes. We can go ahead and do that. Little nose, happy mouth. Always nice to draw happy animals. They should make you smile too. And the whiskers. And then we have that fluffy round body. And those little very simplified front paws here is something that you can do. Also, if you want to add a little bit of detail, just draw two lines on each paw. And then you get some tiny cute toes. Then the tail, Yes, that looks good. You should also strengthen the lines underneath the feet, underneath the cat, like this. This is a way to connect the character to the ground. You can also do it just a little bit slightly on the tail. It's not so heavy, you don't have to overdo it. You can always attach a character by drawing stronger lines underneath it. We know that it's connected to the ground. Another thing we can do is to do a little bit of shading to draw a shadow. It's another way to make sure that you know that the character is placed somewhere. You can destroy us. A little bit of a little shadow around the body like this. Then we can shade it gently as with the eyes. Don't worry if the shade is crossing some of the lines, it will look okay in the end. I'm just making sure that the shadow is the closest to the body. It doesn't have to be a very strong shadow, a little bit like this. It can be as many crooked lines if you want to. We can also draw some stronger lines when it comes to the pulse, and this makes it pop out a little bit from the rest of the drawing. The same, can we do, we can strengthen the lines underneath the head slightly, something like that. Now, the head should be popping out. If you get a little bit of too thick lines or whatever, just go ahead and erase it and re draw the line. Just be as relaxed as possible. Think of, that's very funny lesson to draw. And don't take it too serious because when you're relaxed, it's much easier to learn and it's also much more fun. There you go, your first cat. Very simplified, is just starting with the ball and then we made that little box and a very round shape. A good work. And see you in the next lesson. 3. Balloon Cat: The next cat I thought we will do will be of let's say a balloon in shape and it will be more from the side. We're going to start to draw, let's say squashed balloon maybe, but more like a rectangle with very soft edges, something like this. This is as I discussed earlier also it's very nice that you have a colored pencil. And you don't put so much pressure on it that you can search around and try to be very playful and find the lines you're looking for. There's the shape of the body. I will start with the back here using that soft line, and then we will go down and draw the first leg here in the back. Looking a bit like this. Now when we have placed the leg, we will also draw a guideline for where the other legs will be connected to the ground. Also, we can do a, another guideline for the middle of the body also that is parallel with the ground line. Then we can have the other leg in front here. And it will be also angled a little bit like this. And we're going to draw it about the same size as the other one. Yes, we can draw the belly line here using the outer shape of the balloon. And I think this line will be the leg will be as the little bit on top of the belly line? Yes. And then we can draw the underside here, up there. And then we will have the other front leg angled about the same as the other run here. And then from here we will have a round, nice shape going back up into the top side of the, the balloon shape. But we will continue over this line since we're going to have some very nice ears here for the cat looking a bit like this. And then we can draw the top of the head there. And then we can draw the other ear triangle shape. And then we can go ahead and do the rest on the top of the back of the cat. I'm not going to complete these two lines. Got a little bit too bulky there. I'm not going to complete these two lines. I'm just leaving a little bit of room because we're going to draw the tail there. Later on we will start up here and then we will do a little zig zag shape on the same, on the other side. Nice flowing tailor. If I get too many double lines or there some lines that I have no use for, I can ask erase them. As you see, I'm not freaking out if I have to redo something. It's never about doing something that is perfect. It's always about searching for what you're looking for and just trying to find that and making sure that you enjoy the process of looking for that thing. It's also important that you don't take yourself too seriously. Go ahead and laugh about what you're doing. Now, we're going to do a little bit of a middle line like we did for this cat. But since the head is a little bit tilted, this line will follow, Follow this line there. You have the guideline when you look at, slightly from the side. And we're going to use this guideline to place the nose, and it will be a triangle as we deal with the lost cat looking like this. Of course, we should make it happy, even have an open mouth. And I'm just going to angle the mouth slightly so it's following this guideline. Yes, I think instead of having open eyes, maybe this cat is actually having closed eyes. And we're going to make to both like this, seeing that the cat is really happy and playing around. And I got another double line there, so I'm just going back and erasing it slightly. Yes, that looks good. Then we can draw some whiskers in this time, I'm just going to draw two whiskers on each side of the face here, looking something like this. Lastly, we shouldn't forget about the F here, and it should be somewhere around here. Just go ahead and as with other legs, just make them a little bit angled like this. And you can also may be shaded just slightly to show its status on the back side. Then we should add just a little bit of shade here connecting the cat to the ground. When it comes to my lessons, I don't want to force you to do anything. I encourage you to try different things. And if you really feel that shades or shadows are not really your thing, you don't have to do them. I'm just asking you for at least to try them once and see if it works for you in your drawing. Let's go ahead and define the lines with the black pencil, starting with the back leg here. Then we can do the front legs, then the belly. I'm taking care of a straight cat and she doesn't want to live inside, she always wants to live outside. Even though when it's minus, it's cold. In the summer she looks quite a lot like a normal cat, but in the winter she eats a lot. Let's say that she has a shape shoff and she's very, very cute and very stubborn. There you have the body and let's go ahead and do the, the tail. When you're drawing, you don't have to draw with a single line. You can draw with a bit as many small lines if you want to. Let's do what? This feels more natural for you. I will encourage you to maybe draw with smaller lines in the beginning. It gives you a little bit more of a control. Let's go ahead and finish the eyes and the nose, then the mouth, and then we will shade this part. Don't try to shade the mouth too much, though it shouldn't be taking over the picture too much. Most important lines up a little bit too wide there. It's more important that you have a strong and high contrast around the eyes. Too much focus going to the mouth. Then we have the whiskers. Yes. Then we can do a little bit of shade there too, not too much. We can have just a little bit of shade here underneath the cat, here on the ground, placing a nice shadow. It doesn't have to be a very strong shadow. Just make sure that the strongest part is underneath the body and not strongest on the sides here. Then we can connect the cat with a little bit stronger lines. Also, we can do stronger lines here. I just want to say to you that when it comes to lines that are overlapping, is that if you have a line like the back leg looking like this, this works very good. But if you do the line crossing like this, it's very hard to read the drawing. Actually, it's better to, to have one line that is overlapping the other one because this is a way to describe that this leg is on top of the belly, the same as the back line of the cat. This line is on top of the tail the same. These two lines are just connecting. So they are on the same place. But this line here is underneath the belly line. Because if you draw too many interconnecting or overlapping lines, it's very hard to read the drawing. It's just something to think about. There. We have a side view of a very happy cat. Good work. Can see you in the next lesson. 4. Snowball Cat: The next cat. I thought we will do it a bit like this. That is a little bit, you see it, a little bit from the side and it will be sitting this time. As with the first cut, we will start by drawing a big circle for the head. Looking like that, we will have a guideline for the middle. Then we will take half of this, half of the circle and go down here to see how big the body is. This body will be quite fluffy and it will be quite round. Let's go ahead and draw big round, nice shape like this. And also the same on the other side. This line will be a little bit longer than this line. It's just to give a little bit of variation into your drawing. Also, when it comes to the bottom here, we will have to the bottom log like this. Imagine that it's almost like you put together pieces of a snowman as we did with other cat. Here we will do not just a straight guide line like this, we will have following the outer line, since we're seeing the cat slightly from the side, then it's going to do the same here with the lower part of the body there. You have the guideline for this cat as we talked earlier. Also, don't worry if the guidelines or any of your lines look a bit crooked or they are a little bit tilted. It will look good in the end. When you complete the drawing, let's go ahead and strengthen some of the lines here. We see what we're doing, something like that. We're going to use this guideline to place the eyes, and we will make some nice round eyes here and leave a little bit of glimmer on the top there. Since we are seeing this cat from the side, just imagine that when you're tilting the head, this eye will be quite nice and round. But the other one that is on the back side here will be more like an oval shape. It's not quite as round as a circle, it's more like an oval shape. You get a little bit of perspective there. We can shade ice there too. Just making sure that you leave that little spot of glimmer of light. Then we can place the eyes, we're going to place the nose that we're going to use the eyes for a guideline and then we can place the nose down here. We will continue to use a triangle, but it will be a little bit softer edges this time. And then of course it will be smiling. Strengthen some of the lines here for the eyes looking like that. And then we're going to place the ear and we will have it somewhere around a par. I wonder if we should do a little bit different ears. We can have them more of band line going out to a point there. Then we will have the inner ear shape here following the outside lines. Now we can complete this line because the other ear will be on the back side. Let's go ahead and move the sky slightly as you see. You can always go back and move things and change things as much as you want to just because you have drawn something, it is not set in stone. So we will have another ear here, also with slightly bent lines. Yes. Erasing that little double line. Yes, it looks very cute. And then we can go ahead and draw some whiskers for this cat. Going to draw three this time. I just want to make the top one the longest I have to actually erase these. I'm 100% sure that you will remember them from last son because I thought we would put out the tail here. It will look a bit like the first tail we drew. It's not going all the way down to this line, so there's a little bit room there. I'm drawing a big fluffy end and going back a little bit narrower. Yes, look skew. In this case we're not going to place any legs for it, so it's a little bit different. Look, you see that you can make your character very clean and you can actually leave certain things outside of your drawing and don't have to draw exactly everything every time. Let's go ahead and define the lines with the black pencil. I'm going to start with eyes, making sure that we have nice lines for the eyes here. This is to make sure that the first thing that you look at in the drawing is where the highest contrast is, the strongest lines. It's always nice that you start to look at the character in the eyes. It's a bit, when you look at a real cat, it's very nice to look at those big beautiful eyes they have, see what's going on inside of them if they're happy, and maybe they are a little bit mischievous. Maybe they have played around and made a mess and just trying to look innocent. I had a cat that didn't say anything. Actually, it was very, very quiet. The only time it meowed was when it was it really had to go to the toilet and it didn't want to go on the toilet inside. It always want to do it outside. And it has hadn't been to the bathroom for quite a long time. And that was the only time it said meow, but in the beginning, we could have it in the bed so you can sleep with us. But sadly, my girlfriend got a little bit allergic. He knew it couldn't be in the in the bedroom and in the bed. But sometimes you knew it snuck in there and one time, one time it was in the bed and we caught it instead of just running away or complaining or something. But it did. It played dead there. And just pretended to be completely, it was so funny. I love cats. They always have a very great personality. Sorry about that. I'm just going to say that I'm just completing the body here as we have discussed earlier. Also, don't worry if the lines are a little bit crooked and they may be a little bit not going 100% where you want them to be, but don't worry about that. Either you erase them and you redraw them, or you just leave them there. The next time you're doing this drawing, they will look so much better. I will encourage you to save all your drawings. It will be like a track record of what you're doing and you can actually see that you're getting better and better. It helps you and encourage you with your drawing skills. I'm just going to strengthen some of the lines here. I will strengthen the line here. Here you can see that it's popping out a top of the headline. And I will do the same here. I will draw just a little bit, I got too much of a double, a stronger line as a stronger line here on top of the other ear. And you see that the other ear is disappearing a little bit in the background. Then we will draw a little bit stronger line on both sides here. That means that the head is on top of the body. We can do the same here. A little bit stronger line here over the tail lines, showing that the body is on top of the tail. Even though we don't have any feet, anything strengthen the line here underneath the body, showing that this little cute creature is connected to the ground. I will add a bit of a little bit of a shadow here also. The story I told you earlier is something you can think about. I don't know if you own a cat or maybe a friend that has a cat or maybe you have a favorite cat that you're following on the internet. Just trying to find some personality things that is going on with that cat and incorporate it in your drawings. It will help you a lot, trust me. The same thing goes when it comes to names. Try to name your characters as often as possible. It will give you some extra detail. Usually something that you're not been thinking about will pop out and you can add it to your drawing. There we go, a little bit of shade. I'm just making sure that the strongest parts are closer to the body. There you go, your first three cats based on very simple shapes, looking very cute. I will ask you to show your drawings. It's the best way to draw your confidence. Show your works to friends and family, and post and share your drawings with your fellow students. Because when your confidence grows, it's so much easier for you to learn new drawing skills. Good work and see you in the next lesson. 5. Standing Cat: Next up, I thought we will draw a cat that is standing up. And we will start by drawing a heat that is not perfectly round like a circle. It's more like a novel shape, looking something like this. Then we will have a guideline. Remember you can be as rough as you want to. We will have the body and it will be the same height, approximately as the head, looking something like that. And then we will have two guidelines on each side, forming a little box for the body. Another guideline for the middle of the head. There we're going to define the head. And the head is going to be a little bit more square, so to say. In the lower parts here, it's almost like the cat has cheeks that are quite going down towards the body there. I think I was a little bit too generous with the line there, so let's go ahead and go back and erased it. Then we're going to draw two ears and there will be a little bit drooping down slightly, and then will do the same on the other side of the head, slightly drooping. Then we can continue to draw the top of the head here. Nice round shape? Yes. We're going to place two ice. Going to place them on the guideline, one on each side here. They're going to be round and we're going to draw the eyes completely black field in like that. And then I'm going to place a mouth. We will place it here in the middle there, following the guideline to ban lines like that. And I may have a mouth that is open. Let's go ahead and draw a novel shape down there. And then a little shade, maybe you start to recognize this little fellow from, from the Internet. Probably do. We're going to draw the body and we're going to use the guide line on this side to draw a nice round shape, going up to the headline there. Then we will have a round shape for the leg going up just a little bit. And then we'll draw a little belly line. Then we will do the same on the other side here. Draw a nice round shape up towards the head. Nice round shape of the leg. We will do is we will do a little bit of an overlap overlapping line there, just showing that we have a bit, that the bodies may be tilted slightly to one side. This is just to give a little bit of variation. I think this cat will be maybe a little bit shy or maybe it's anticipating something fun. We will draw the other front legs up here, and it's going to touch the guideline in the middle there. And I'm going to do the same on the other side. This hand or arm will be just slightly over the other one. The cat looks maybe a little bit shy and maybe it's doing something a little bit nervous with its hands. I know children can do this sometimes also we will draw a tail. And it will be not going up completely from this line, so just a little bit higher up, it will be a little bit wider here in the base than in the top. Yes, I think this looks good. Let's go ahead and define the lines for the black pencil. And I will start with the eyes, drawing them very black high and nice contrast. Don't do the other eye. Then then do the mouth. And then shade the mouth and make sure that you don't shade it so strong, it's not going to be as strong as the eyes, so be a little bit lighter on your hand. We can do the outer shape of, of the head and continue to be as loose and rough on your hand as you want to. There you have the other. I am here. As you see sometimes I don't follow the blue lines, I'm just finding a new line that I feel is better. You don't have to be super strict to follow your first rough. And then they have the body, that little little belly. Yes, we can draw the tail and those little anticipating arms. Yes. Looks good. Then we can add a little bit of shade this time. We will not shade all the way under the body. We will do a little bit of shade where the legs are touching the ground. Just a little bit on each side. Just make sure that the strongest part of the shades or shadows are closest to the body. Then we will strengthen the line here. Also to connect the little kit to the ground, I think I will just go ahead and strengthen the lines here closer to the mouth. As you see, you don't always have to draw everything that is on the cat. This time we left out the nose and we are not drawing any whiskers, but you can still recognize that it is a little cat. Remind yourself that you can always have a lot of different variations when you're drawing good work. And see you in the next lesson. 6. Dancing Cat: Let's continue with the same de, so this time I think it will be a little bit more playful. We can start by drawing the head again. This time I think we will angle the little bit. We tilted a little bit to the side, we will have a guideline. Now this looking like this for the head there you have the rough lines for the head. The body will be the same ***gth as the head. And we're also going to draw a little bit of a guide line down from this line. It's going to help us to place the first leg. Imagine that you have a line going down like this. The long flowing line go up a little bit like this. And then we will have the other leg and it will be drawn up like this. So go ahead and draw a bent leg looking like this. Then we're going to have a very nice and long shape here for the back of the cat, the other side of the, of the body. And I got a little bit of a double line there, so I'm going to erase that, making sure that it's a little bit clean. It's easier to read the drawing. Yes, it looks nice. Now, we can go ahead and draw the head a little bit better. Yes. And the other side, having those heavy cheeks and will draw about the same ears for this one, it's a little bit drooping. Not a lot, but just a little bit. And do the same on the other side here as without the drawing. Don't worry if the ears are not the same shape or the same size, it will look good in the hand. Anyway, once you have completed the drawing, everything will fall together. And we should also eyes placed on the guideline, there being nice round shape. Then we will have the happy mouth. Then we will have the same open mouth, looking a bit like this. Yes, let's go ahead and draw the arms. And the arm will start somewhere up here. And then we will be bent inwards and going back out again. It's bending its leg or front leg. I should say these cats are quite anthropomorphic. Maybe it's better to say that it's bending its arm. Now we can complete the line here. If you have some lines that you feel are disturbing you, we'll go back and erase them and clean the drawing up a little bit. Now we can do the other leg too, a nice round shape there, and then the butt on the back of the cat, somewhere around here, we will have another arm and we will have it stretch outwards, slightly down and going back up again. It's a nice flowing line like this, something like that. We can go back and erase this line also. It looks very cute. We can go ahead and find a lines with a black pencil. And I will start with the eyes. When you're drawing a character like this that is very clean and you feel that there's something you want to add, please do it. I mean, if you want to add a nose on this cat, just go ahead and try with a dose. A triangular nose or a big nose, or a small nose, just play around. I'm 100% sure that you will find a very interesting design, a very nice character. There you have the mouth, we will just do soft shade, not too strong. And then we will do the outer part of the body, the ear. If you feel that your lines are getting away a little bit, just go back and use as, try to stay as relaxed as possible. And just being in mode of flow and thinking everything is just fun and exciting when you're drawing. Because this is not any school exam, it's just experience and a new skill. And just being very happy to learn something new there. You have the legs, the body, and then that arm. So this is a very, very nice playful dance, struggling around being very happy and playful. We should also have a bit of a shadow for this one, and I'm not going to connect it straight up here because it's going to be a little bit up in the air. I'm just going to be doing a little bit of oval shape underneath it. Slightly like this now We feel that it is high up in there. Skipping along as you did when you were a kid. Or maybe you are still a kid, I don't know the age of you, so maybe you're still in that mode that you can skip along. It's a great mode to be, as with other shadows, to make sure that the middle part is the strongest. You don't have to draw it super strong. It's just indication that the cat is up in there. I think I will go back and strengthen the mouth again a little bit, maybe a little bit more on the ice too. When this drawing, I think we will leave out, we will leave out the tail to get it in a more cleaner shape. But if you really want to add one, draw a wild and crazy tail there. When it comes to the composition of this one, it's very good that not all of the legs are looking the same. This leg is nice and long and stretched, and this one is bent up on the same sign as the bent up leg is that you have a long and nice flowing arm. Where you have that stretched out leg, you have a bent arm. You're mixing matching. And give me a little bit more variation and also a little bit more tension into your drawing. It's always nice when you have something that are in motion, is going to strengthen a few of the lines that we see that this leg is on top of the other leg. We can do the same here. Also strengthen the line a little bit, just making sure that there's some strength and tension to the chin. I'm going to go back a bit to clutter. When it comes to smudge marks, don't worry about it. Just leave them as they are. If they are maybe a bit too intrusive into your drawing, you can erase them. But just remember that this is just a fun and playful exercise and you're not doing an exam or you're doing an artwork, it's just playing around and having fun. There you go. One playful dancing, happy cat, good work, and see you in the next lesson. 7. Resting Cat: Since the cat had been playing around a lot, the last exercise, I thought it will be a little bit calmer this time relaxing on the pillow. We're still going to tilt the head a little bit since it's going to be resting on a pillow here. Will draw a head with a little bit of a guideline going like this. And the another guideline up here. Yes, from here we will have a body that is about the same ***gth as the body on the head is about the same ***gth as we've done with the other Ts here. Where do from here we will have a nice long line flowing back up into the head. So let's go ahead and draw a nice long curve like that. Then we will have two little legs, then a little belly, and then the belly going up like this. I think this leg got a bit, maybe a little bit too small. Let's go ahead and add just a little bit more to that leg and then let it go up into almost the body. We're going to leave a little bit of room here because I thought this little kitty will be maybe scrolling on his or her mobile phone. We can do the shins for this one approximately. Can draw a line all the way around, almost going to place the ear there later on. But this time we will place the ear on the back side when it comes to this cat. So let's go ahead and draw one ear here. I think I will erase a little bit of line there on the other side. Something like that. I'm just variating this drawing a little bit because I wanted the head to feel that it is a little bit turned to this side. So that's why I draw the ear, it's overlapping going over the other ear and this one is sticking out slightly, but not on top. Down here, I think I will move this guideline slightly, just little bit slightly, turning it more to this side. Before we draw the facial features, I thought we will draw the mobile phone and it will be a rectangle. That's a little one. I don't know what model of phone you are having. Maybe you have a very special mobile phone so you can add it to. I have a very old phone, so I only actually have one camera here. This kit has a little bit more than one. It has two cameras. I believe we just a little bit of room here. There's some room between the head and the arm, and I will just make a little band here. Have the cat holding the phone. It will cover the corner of of the phone. Let's make sure that you leave a little bit of room. Because when you get too many lines going into the same place like this, it's hard to read the drawing. It's better to leave it a little bit more of them. Can also erase the line a little bit from the mobile phone, cellular phone or whatever a phone is called in the country that you're in. Now we can draw the other hand and arm, So you have in the middle here of the phone, I will draw a curved line going like this. The same curve line going up like that. The arm will be a little bit thinner appear than it's down here. And also, I will erase maybe a little bit of the side of the head there, leaving a little bit more room. Yes, that looks good. Well, we can draw the rest of the body when it comes to cats and the rest, but I understood is that they're not sleeping like us humans. They sleep quite light. They wake up quite often. And that's a reason why they are in rest mode so many hours per day, especially when you have been playing around, you need a lot of rest. Let's go ahead and draw the eyes on this kitty. Two round circles on each side there, and then a little mouth. This time we are not going to have an open mouth. It's more relaxed. Maybe we can put out some eyebrows for this cat when it's browsing. Maybe it's on Instagram, scrolling on cat pictures. I think that looks good. We can draw a tail also. We're going to have it, not the same angle as this one. So let's go ahead and draw it a little bit more straight down, looking a bit like this line got the way there, there you have the tail. Lastly, we can add the pillow, and I have to actually erase this, a little reminder there, because the pillow is going to be quite big. I will draw some lines going out like this. A nice flowing line going up into the ear there. Something like that. And then we can do the same on the other side. And we can start somewhere around here doing a nice flowing weaving line Going back into the head. Yes, let's go back and clean this line up slightly. That looks good to give the cat a little bit more of a weight. We will do some shading here on the pillow, it will be a little bit on this side of the head. Then we will have some shade here under the body, going up to the head. It doesn't have to be a very strong shade, just a bit showing that it's very comfortable. Let's go ahead and define the lines with a black pencil. And I will start with the mobile. And maybe your phone has a sticker so you can draw the sticker there on the phone if you'd like to then draw the arms on on each side. Don't continue with the rest of the body. I think it's time to sharpen a pencil. So hold on. It's always nice to have a quite sharp pencil. So let's go ahead and draw the head here. I can say that I'm a bit of a dinosaur when it comes to mobile phones and social media, et cetera. I got my first Smartphone when, when I was about 40, is quite late. I'm still trying to catch up with everything that's going on out there. Hopefully, one day it will be quite close to what most people are doing on the Internet. The eyes and eyebrows. Of course, cats don't have eyebrows as we do, but it's always a nice thing that you can add to drawing. You can make them look like this. That is maybe a little bit almost sleepy and relaxed. Or it can be turned inward, looking concentrated or angry. And they can be high up or low. When you're redrawing this cat, try to draw different sets of eyebrows for it and see what happens to it. It's a nice tool to change the appearance of your character and the mood. There you have the pillow. Then let's go ahead and draw the shade here. It doesn't have to be a very strong one. Just a little bit the same thing on the other side. Maybe make this line a little bit more strong as usual. Don't worry if the shadow line is crossing any of your other lines. It doesn't matter. It would look good in the end when you finalize the drawing and you can go forth and back and see how strong shadow you want to have. Let's make sure that it is quite the strongest, closest to the body. And we can also go back and strengthen a few of the lines here holding a little bit more strength on the mobile phone here you see that the one is on top of the other hand there. Very relaxed Kitty. Of course, it's possible to add more shadow here where the pillow and legs are on the ground. But I will leave it like this because when you're adding a bit too much to a drawing, it loses the focus of what you really want to portray. In this case, it's very nice to have this very nice lazy cat with two legs sticking out, being super relaxed. There you go, three little kits in different modes. Good work can see you in the next lesson. 8. Two Kitties In A Box: The next drawing we will do will be two cats in a box. We will start by drawing. Perhaps they will have about the same design as the last cat drew. You have an oval shape. There will be angled just slightly, a little bit to the side, not a slightly like this. Also we will have another guideline. It will not be straight in the middle because it will be looking slightly to this direction. There we have one head, and then we will draw the other head. And it will be angled in the other direction. It will have the same shape as the last one. Looking a bit like this. We can another guideline, we'll put it just slightly higher up. Then we will have the middle. We will have the middle guideline somewhere around there. So now we have the two heads. And then we will see we will have the box about the same height as this head. Let's go ahead and draw a little guideline down here. That will be the bottom of the box they're sitting in. Then we will have two little hands here on each side of the guideline for the head. Then we will have another one here, looking something like this. Now we can start to place the top of the box, a straight line here. Then we will just let one of the cheeks go down a little bit because we wanted to drop over the edge of the box. Then we will just contain a line out there. And then we will have a line going in behind the head there. For the other cat, it will just have one of its hands or paws on the box edge here, looking something like this. And then we will continue the box line there, and then it will go out somewhere around there. A little bit too much of a double line there looking something like this. And then we will just draw up a little bit of that cat's body up into the headline. We can draw that headline now, not so much higher up here, because we will draw the airs later on. I just want to see where the body and the heads, et cetera, are. First, we can define hoops. We can define these lines a little bit better as we have discussed earlier, Don't worry if the lines are a little bit wobbly or crooked. Everything will look good once you have finalized the whole drawing. Now we have the body for the second cat, and now we can put a little corner here. And then we will draw a line up up into the, we can do is called flaps, I think. So for the box. Just want to make sure that this line is not going all the way out. So I will angle this box flap line a little bit more downwards, the long line. And now we have one of the flaps there and then we can draw the edge flap also sticking out a little bit like this. I'm making sure that I don't put too many lines in the same place. Just leave little space here, in a little space there. Now we have the flaps and the corners. We will draw a little bit of a bent line here too. Have some variations to the lines for the box going up there. Then we just imagine that you have a little line going down here. It's also a little bit bent. Now we can draw the bottom of the box. Yes, I'm not going to do the flap on this side because I don't want it to be too many details around here. The best focus will be going up into the heads. We will continue by drawing this cat and it will go up and around something like this. And I will just make a little bit of adjustment there. Draw the ear, and it's going to be a little bit droopy as with the previous cats there. Then we can draw the inner ear looking something like this. Then we will to eyes and we place them on the, on the guide line. Still doing that round and black eye design. You have the eyes and now we're going to draw the mouth. As I discussed earlier, we will add a little bit of nose shape for the ones, not just the mouth. And I will make a round nose for this cat, then have these two happy lines going up into the nose like this. I think I will let the mouth be open and shade the mouth slightly. Yes, I'm not going to draw any ear for this one. We just imagine that the other ear is tucked in when the other cat behind it and maybe they are snuggling a little bit. We can continue this line up a little bit, then we will draw an ear, will look a little bit different. Moreover, a curved line up into a point not to drop. Then we can finalize the top of the head there. Then we can go ahead and draw the ice. And I will start with this one. I know approximated that there's some broom here, and there are another eye about the same ***gth from the guide line in the middle. Yes, this cat will have a triangle nose looking like that. Of course, it should be smiling that yes, it looks very cute. There you have two cats snuggling in a box. What I understood why cats like boxes so much is that they feel very secure and safe in the box. It doesn't matter, they don't think about how big it is. Even the lion will try to get this huge body into a small box, and it looks really, really funny. Let's go ahead and define the lines with the black pencil, starting with the nose and the mouth. Then a very gentle shade, not too much pressure for the mouth and then the eyes, making sure they are nice and round and black. Yes, looks good and on the head, don't worry about the lines being wobbly or crooked or anything else. Continue to draw and have fun. I think you have realized by now when you have completed your drawing, that everything falls together and it looks good. There I have the air that is sticking out, We can actually do the box. Now, the stray cat I'm taking care of, I built three houses for her in wood, but she doesn't like them. What I have to do each winter is to build a house for her out, cardboard boxes. So she loves this material quite a lot. And I give her some blankets and also I have warm water bottles for her and it's very, very cold. She's definitely a box cat. The only time she came in, it was it was below 20 degrees and it was really, really wind. And that was the only night she has been inside for what is five years now. She is the boss, she doesn't like to live inside. I think she has a very good life outside. Now, I'm completing the second cat here, ending with the nose. There you go, two cute cats in the box. I'm just going to strengthen the line down here to make sure that we have some weight to the box that is grounded to the surface here. Lastly, what you can do if you want to is that to get a little bit of variation in this drawing is to shade this cat a little bit. Be very ugly on your hand to see how much pressure you need to have. I'm starting with a little small area to test it out. Now I will just do the rest of the cat here. You can be as rough as you want to try to be quite light on your hand so you don't make it too dark because you can always go back and add some more pressure later on. But it's hard to make it lighter than the only option is to use the eraser there. You have a little bit of a light shade, maybe I will just make it slightly, Slightly darker? Slightly, yes. I think that's good enough. As I usually do, I prefer to have some shade to the bottom of the object that is touching the ground. So I'm just going to do a little bit of shade down here a little bit. That's the same with this cat. I will be quite light on my hand. I'm just going forth and back until I'm happy with the strength and the size of the shadow as usually. Just make sure that the shadow is the strongest, closest to the object that is touching the ground. Something like that. I think this looks very good. Two cute cats in the box, probably having a very good time. Good work. And see you in the next lesson. 9. Cheek Poking: The next drawing will also be a cat in the box. We will start with the head again. We'll be somewhere around here. More of an oval shape than a complete, so round circle looking like that. And then we will have a guideline, two guidelines for the head like this. And then we will take the heads and measure how far down the box will be. The box will be somewhere around here and maybe at a slightly bigger than the head. But we will start by drawing some facial features for this one. First I think I will continue to draw that round nerves, happy mouth we've, but this time it will be a little bit more narrow and you will find out quite soon. We will have two eyes here. I will draw them very lightly to start with like this. And then we will make a little B line crossing over the eye and not too long, a little bit shorter like this. Then we will have the eyes sticking out like this. It's the A covering the eye slightly. And soon you will find out why. We'll draw the top part of this head first and this time the ears will be more alert, sticking out like this. Do the same on the other side, there is coming up somewhere around here. And of course, you can do as many guidelines as you want to see that you have the ears about the same place. If you see that you're a little bit off, you can always use your eraser. Bit too broad. Line there, wide there we have two alert ears. Got a little bit of my beard. Sorry about that. Shins are like that. Is that the other cat will stand behind it and push in. Words like that, just playing around on this side. We will make a little little hand with the finger going in like this. That too will have a line like that. To go ahead and draw a very simplified hand, you can also erase this line if you want to. There you have one hand. And then we can continue to draw the bottom half of the side of the head on this side. The other cat will be standing behind it. I think I will start actually by drawing a arm of the cat going in like that. And then a little bit down here. Then I have the little hand there and then a little finger and pushing on the sheet, looking something like that, Very, very playful. Maybe Clean this up a little bit as usual, you see that? I'm just laughing and not freaking out if some lines are not going perfectly. That's where I want them to be because it's not important. Maybe a little bit of an overlap there too. Is it there? He has the head and poking of the cheeks. Now we can start to draw the box for the cat. And I will just make a line going out here. Then the body up, something like that. And then we will do the body on the other side. And then we will have two front paws, the hands if you want to drawing well, on each side of the guideline there, they don't have to be exactly the same size or anything. And then we can continue the box on the other side here. Then we will draw the box out from the and then make a no idea why I'm doing so many double lines today. It's probably just one of those. As just draw the side of the box, we will see the box slightly from one side just a little bit. Then draw the little flap. Then we can draw the front flap. I don't want this line to be too similar to this one, so I'm just going to lower it slightly and then draw a line across. It can be as B as you want to. Then from this corner, you can also imagine that you have a line going down to the ground. Then we can do the same on this side. From this corners have a line going down to the ground there too. There you have the bottom of the box, the same here as the imaginary line going down there. And then you can draw a line up to meet the other line there. You have the side of the box. Now you have maybe it's surprised or just the other cat to play pranks on it. Maybe it's both surprised and happy. Going to do some strength on some of the feature part. We see what we're doing later on. Let's go ahead and draw the other. The head will be at the same line as this one, but not completely angled, looking somewhere along like that. And just make sure that it's going over this air because I just want to the cat to have some space behind the other cat, Something like that. Complete this line also. Yes. And then we can have the other ear here, making sure there's enough room for, for the ear. Then we can let the come back into the body and just make sure that you leave some space between these two lines so they are not connecting too closely. Because it will feel like the coming from the head. Because it will feel like the arm is coming from the head. Why I drew it this way now is to see that you can actually draw things without the guideline, But I'm going to add a guideline now. After I have drawn all the other outer shape of the head, I will make the guideline somewhere around here, I think. Yes, I think will look good. Now, we can place the nose somewhere around here. And then a smile, probably a little bit mischievous. Then I will draw this first, I will try to see if it's a good place to place it underneath here, somewhat. I think this can look good. And then I will see that it will have approximately the same distance from the middle line. Yes, I think this. Okay. Or very good. Maybe even Then I will go ahead and draw this ear too. I will make it a little bit more point as I did with other ear. Going up like this. Yes. Since the head is a little bit turned towards this side, that's why I draw the ear behind the headline. We should have a body for this little cat also. Let's go ahead and start by drawing a shape coming out from the box beneath the flat there, going up into the head. And then we will add a little leg, an oval shape on the back of the cat line curving up can a little bit of the line here. We see what we're doing. The cat should have a tail too. A little bit higher up than the line here. Somewhere around here, we can have a curved line going up into the back again. I'm making the tail a narrower hair here. It's a little bit wider where it's going into the body there. I have two cats playing around. I know that there are some cultures that are squeezing and poking when it comes to the cheeks. We don't do it so much in Sweden, but I've been living in quite a lot of places in the world. And there are some places where people can't resist squeezing, not just the cats cheeks people. Maybe you live in one of those areas, I don't know. Just making sure that we're going to see what we're doing. Messing up the drawing so much as I'm doing at the moment. Yes. I think that's a good start. So let's go ahead and define the lines with the black pencil. I will start with the nose and do the mouth. And do a very gentle shade for the mouth. Chelines, maybe it's not called that in English, I don't know, but I'm sure you know what I'm meaning. Then the other Y, then I can go ahead into the head with those alert ears because cats are speaking quite a lot. With their ears is not just the rest of the body and the tail they are communicating, but they're showing the mood and an intention quite a lot with their ears. I'm going to complete this box cat first, before we start drawing mischievous cat in the background. When you're making this exercise, go ahead and add something to the boxes where the cats are sitting. Maybe it's the favorite food of the cat you have. It's your favorite food. It can be anything that you can imagine that can make the drawing interesting and funny. And whatever you want to do with it, maybe it's just the name of the cats on the box. Who knows there's the body. And then we have the head. Remember you can be as rough as you want to sometimes when you are very rough with your lines, it actually makes the drawing more alive. Can very clean lines one eye and then the second eye. Going to strengthen this line a little bit also we really feel that And this cat is in front of the other. Cat can do the same here. Strengthen the lines for the arm. Can do some strengthening also on this side, yes. Then we're going to strengthen the line where the box is touching the ground and slightly to the side. Also we can do some strengthening of strengthening of the flaps to get a little bit more dynamic. And as you see, I got a little bit of smart share but I'm just going to leave it It's okay way it looks like that. As with other drawing, let's go ahead and shade one of the cats slightly. We're being very gentle. It's always good to try out this shading on a small part of the body that is isolated, like this little hand or the tail. Before you start with the rest of the body, don't worry if the shade lines are going outside of your lines. No one will notice that when you have finished the drawing. It's the same also that when you're shading and maybe some of the lines getting a little bit too dark leave them. You can always go back like this line, I have to actually see it afterwards. This line is a little bit stronger than the rest of the lines, but I'm 100% sure that most people don't notice it. But what you can do is just the rest of the drawing slightly around it and 99.99% of all cases, it will just fade in to the rest of the drawing. Yes, I think this looks good. We will just make a little bit of strength underneath the cat, showing that it is connected to the ground. For once, I will just leave out the shadow so you can see how a drawing looks without any shadow, or shade or anything on the ground. Now we have two cats in two pictures playing around with a box. I think they look and very playful. Good work. And see you in the next lesson. 10. Kitty Waving: When it comes to drawing cute and cartoon cats. Of course, there's one cat we can't forget. And we will start to draw this cat by drawing a circle that is a little bit more oval shape, slightly looking like this. The head will be tilted a little bit to this side. Let's go ahead and draw a guideline like this, and then another guide in the middle of the head here. Something like that. When it comes to the body, it will be about the same height as the head. Go ahead and a guide line down here. Then we will have to slide little guide line going up to touch the guideline there. Yes, it looks skew. I think we will draw the body first and then we will draw the facial features. Why I drew this guide line down here is that that will be the middle of the leg down here. We will draw a nice long curve out going up into the head. As you see, I'm searching and trying to find some nice line is always easy to go back and erase whatever you're doing, something like that. Then this is one of the legs, And then we will have leg, or actually 1 ft that is raised up, the under side of the foot is facing you. Let's go ahead and draw a round shape that is slightly oval looking, something like this. Yes, now we can draw a little curved line down here showing where the leg is, something like that. And then we can have about from the middle of this foot, a curved line going up on the other side, going back into the head like that. When we are in this area, we will draw a hand that is the beginning, it will be slightly on top of the face. We are drawing a little bit of a thumb. There will be a bit of a double line there, a quite shabby hand like that line going up into the hand there. Then we will have a little line for where the sleeve is. Just make sure that you leave a little bit of room between the thumb and the sleeve. Yes. Now we can go ahead and draw the rest of the head here. I will flatten out the lower part of the head a little bit. Then we can go up and follow the circle again, somewhere around there. Can you do the same here? Just making sure that I'm not I don't want to put the facial line straight into the thumb lines. I'm just moving it slightly out a little bit. Then follow the curve line up a bit like this. Then we can place here, it will be about in the middle of, we have two lines out there in the middle of these two points. And these two points, we have done this before, you know it. Then we will make a curve to a point and then another curve on the other side. Yes, do. The head will be overlapping the air slightly but not on top. Then we can draw top of the head, but not quite all the way. We're going to draw a flower up here. I'm just making a little round shape first. Something like that and then from this shape we will draw that curved here, looking something like that. Got a little bit of a line. The escaping yes, in the middle here we will have a round shape. Now when we have this line here, we can. It's not called leaf flowers. What is called petals? I think I'm, if I get it wrong, we'll draw some petals. For a flower. We're going to start doing like this as we have discussed earlier. Also, I don't want too many lines going into the same place. It's very nice that they end up on top of the petals and not down in here. Try to do that. I think we will have five petals for this flower. I got a little bit to Mandale Stairs. I'm just going to erase it slightly there. We got a little petal, and we're going to do the facial features. And I'm just going to use this guideline and that will be the top of the eyes, they will be quite oval. And then the same using that middle guideline here to put the other eye. Yes, remember it doesn't have to be super precise. It will look good. Anyway. I will make this quite dark. Yes. Then we will have a nose. And the nose can draw a very slight guideline here. Between these two points, we will have a nose that is centered around that line. It will also be an oval shape. I think you have guessed what character that it's very popular one, it's a very happy says hello. Quite often we should do a little line for the dress, a little half circle. We can place the other arm. And we will start a little higher up than this line, so you get a little bit of room there. If you want to, you can just measure these arms so they are about the same size. Then we will draw a little thumb, the short little hand going down into the body. And then a little sleeve line to just remember to leave a little bit of room here between the sleeve line and the thumb. Lastly, we will draw some whiskers. I think I will put one whisker somewhere on the guideline here. Quite long one and then a little bit of shorter one there. And do the same here. One whisker, a long, the guideline on a little longer one. There's a lot of variations to this kitty. Please go ahead and add and subtract whatever you want to. Maybe you want to have a bow here. Maybe you want to have a different dress. Just use your imagination and mix it up. Then we will, of course, go ahead and define the lines with a black pencil. I will start with the nose and then go ahead and do the eyes. Do the other eye, remember you can be as wild and crazy as you want to with the lines. It doesn't have to be a very super smooth character. Of course, you can draw lines looking like this if you want to, but you can also draw lines that are shorter. More jagged, just go ahead and draw that flower. And then the opening for her dress. I have drawn her maybe a little bit wider than she usually is slightly. And you can of course, slim down slightly if you want to, please go ahead and draw the preferred kitty that you want in destroying him. Just remembering to leave a little bit of room there between the lines. If you hear something in the background, I hope my audio filter is removing. Most of this is my neighbor upstairs moving around and cleaning. I think it shouldn't be a problem, but I'm sorry, you can hear something. And then lastly, we will do the whiskers. I think I prefer to have a little bit of shade for this character, a shadow. I know that I have not seen many drawings putting a shade or shadow underneath her. If you feel that it is disturbing for you, go ahead and ignore this. Doing a very, very soft shadow here, adding a little bit of by lines outside of the shadow. I prefer to do this. I think it gives to drawing a little bit more life and then strength on it closer to where she's standing. And I will also add a little bit more weight underneath her. She's connected to the ground. We can also do a little bit of strength on the foot here as showing that it's to you and maybe a little bit more strength underneath her head. There you go. One happy kitty waving and saying hello, good work, and see you in the next lesson. 11. Moon Cat: Let's go ahead and draw the next cat here. And we will start by drawing a circle, nice and round. Well, this time then we're going to add a guideline and another guideline here like that. Then for the body it will be not all the way, so maybe 75% of the height of the head, it will go down somewhere around here. About that place? Yes. We will draw some guide lines going up to the head on each side. If you feel that it's getting a little bit too uneven, can of course set and just move the line slightly outwards. We're going to draw the head first. And we will draw a line going more outwards towards this guideline. And then we will make a round shape out there. And then we will go back into the head. It will be that the cheeks are quite pointing. Do the same on the other side here as draw them out a bit further out than the headlines. And then going back and doing the same on the other side here. Yes. Then we can complete the headline. Maybe this line should be a little bit rounder. Just a little bit. Yes, that looks good. Then we can draw some ears, and the ear will start slightly higher up than the. It will be a slightly bent line curving up and then ending in a soft point and then going back into the head again, looking something like that. And then we will draw an inner airline that is starting about there and going down into wider area down there. And then we can do the same on the other side. Remember that you can draw as many guidelines as you want to. Can have another one up here. Round line going up to a soft point, then another line meeting the other. Then we can do that inner ear shape too. Don't worry if the ears are not 100% the same size or the same form, It will look good in the end even though you see that everything is maybe a little bit crooked at the moment. Once you finalize the drawing, everything that will go away there. We have the basic shape of the head and now we're going to draw some ice. And I think they will be closed this time. You know how cat can be having very smiley eyes when they are closed. We will start the line somewhere around the guideline and then going down in the bend towards the middle. Something like that. Then you can do the same on the other side, a little bend going down into the middle. Two smiling eyes. If you just imagine that this line is continuing, then you will have a little nose here. I think we will make it quite round. We should have two smiling lines going up into the nose looking like this. This cat will also have a marking here in the head. I'm sure quite a lot of you will recognize this character. It will be a crescent moon, I think it's called Draw a circle first, then in there there will be. Another line dividing up the circle. The name for this character is what moon is called in Italian. There's a little clue for those of you who don't recognize this character. Now we can go ahead and draw the body. And I will use this guideline to draw a soft curved line going up into line. We can do the same on the other side, going back into the headline there. Then we can have the front pause here, a little bit further down, the bottom line there. And then going back up, curving back out. We can do the same on the other side. And line that is curving back out. Yes. Maybe I should angle this one out slightly more. Just a little bit. Yes, this looks better. You can also place three little lines here, Two little lines on each foot. I don't know if it's hard to count today, it seems to have some little toes there. We can have this line. Can continue with a line that is slightly curved up on each side slightly. And then we will have an oval shape here that is angled out. I'm not going to complete it. I will leave a little bit of room here. Then we will draw a soft round up here towards the body line there. We have the back pole, we can those little pole, I know what is called pots, something like that. It's going to make it a little bit softer, a little bit smaller as you see it. I don't think it's enough room here for those little tall marks. I'm just going to move this line slightly outwards. I think this looks better. As you see, you can always change and move and erase whatever line you feel is not really right there. A drawing should be a very organic and a living organism. Let's go ahead and draw back pole on the other side. And you can also, if you want to draw a little guideline out there so you have about the same size, something like that. And then we can draw the pole marks, something like that. Maybe I should move them slightly to the left a little bit. Yes, I think it looks better. And then another curve line here for the back leg there. The little moon cat is sitting, resting, and feeling very, very happy. We can go ahead and draw some whiskers for this. One can do one whisker on each side of the guideline there, doing them slightly curved. Yes, it looks very nice. Then we should have a little tail for it also. So let's go ahead and draw out the tail here. Just the little one looking something like this. Or maybe it should be the same width all the way. Let's try a little wider tail and see how it works. Just a little bit y, I think this looks much better. You can go ahead and change the angle slightly there too. Yes, I think this looks good. Let's go ahead and do the definition with a black pencil, starting with the nodes, then those smiling eyes. It's always nice to see a cat smile with eyes in this way. And then the headline. Remember that you can be as rough and draw as crooked lines. You want to, don't feel any pressure when you're drawing. Just be very playful and relaxed and just be looking forward to see where the line is going and what your hand and pencil are discovering there. I have the ears and then the crescent. We can do the whiskers. I like that. And then we will go ahead and draw the body, the front pause when it comes to this character. Of course, there are about 1 million different versions. This is not the official version that is in the TV series and in the comic books, but I like this to sign a lot. There's nothing wrong with the original, but I like when a cat is very fluffy and have very round shapes, more of the proportions of a kitten. And then the other leg, and lastly the tail. Yes. And then we can strengthen the lines just slightly, where the cat is in contact with the ground just a little bit. We can strengthening the poll lines here. Also the cheeks. I also realized earlier that I say shins sometimes for the cheeks. I'm sorry about that. I hope I've added out most of them. But if there are some shining is that is shed in Swedish, it's quite close to sin. And I'm quite often mixing it up, but I think most people will understand what I'm talking about. A little stray line there. It's just about to erase whatever line you don't feel comfortable with. I will also draw some shadow here to this little moon cat. Just a little bit. This cat is mostly grayish, but I'm going to draw it now with a non shade because it's easier to see all the details. But if you prefer to have it gray, of course you can shade it. I think the color, colorless gray, more of a warm gyne If you have this pencil at home. Let's go ahead and feel free to to shade it some more beer there that got away as usual. Was making sure that as dark as shade is closest to the body. Yes, I think this looks very good. One little moon cat. Good work. Can see you in the next lesson. 12. Round Cat: The last cat we will do will be a fluffy one. We will do it a little bit different as we talked earlier about what makes a cat cuts to have a very round form and usually a very large head compared to the body. But in this case, it will be that the head is quite small, but it will still look very cute. We will start by drawing an oval shape like this. The head will be a little bit tilted to one side, so we can go ahead and draw a guideline like this and another like this. Then we will have a larger ball. So to say that is almost a circle, but it has a little bit more of a squashed circle shape to it, so something like this. Then we will draw the outer shape of the head here. It will be a little bit overlapping on this side for the headline. But here, the head line and the body line will go into a single point. Then we can draw some ears on this, 12 small triangles on each side here. Then we can complete the top of the head. Then we will have a little nose here. That is a novel shape. And then two smiling lines. Yes. And then two eyes can have them quite wide apart. We are drawing, this is just to see that you don't have to always draw a very, very big head compared to the body. You can vary from time to time if you want to. It's just that you remember that you keep all the shapes quite round so the cat looks very fluffy. Let's see, somewhere around from this line down to here, we will have the start of the back paws looking something like this. Now we can draw the bottom here going out to the side, and there we will have the back pole. It will be looking about the same, just leaving a little space there. Yes. Then we will have the front posts, they lay on their back and they put front legs up like this. It's super cute. So we will do that looking a bit like this, putting the front pole about in the middle of that guideline. And then we can draw the other one. And we can have it maybe slightly further down. So they're not 100% level. Yes, that looks very good. Of course, we should have a tail for it also. Let's go ahead and draw a little tail on this side. I'm making it slightly thicker in the end here and then going down in a nice band line into the body. When it comes to drawing the cats, you don't have to squash them all in on a single paper. If you prefer to have them on a separate papers, just do what is most comfortable for you. There's a good start. I thought with this cat, do some spots. Let's go ahead and nice curved lines and then we can shade this area and shade the whole tail. Then there should be a spot on this side too, She, then we will have a line that is going into the eye, then going back up and also doing that extra bend. Then we can shade it with the ear. Yes, I think it looks good. Let's go ahead and define the lines with a black pencil. Can start with a pulse this time. Is making nice round lines and a line up into the here. As you see, it's possible to draw with just a single line like this if you feel that sometimes it's a little bit hard to do it and you see that the line is getting away, just go back and draw with multiple lines. I just encourage you to try both. It is a little bit easier if you draw multiple lines in the beginning, from time to time. Just try to draw a nice long line and see how it works for you. As you see, I'm not freaking out. If the line is getting away, I'm erasing it and just going back and drawing multiple lines. Number, have the little ice here on like that. Then lastly we will do the spots. Just make sure that when you draw lines for the spots that you don't put too much pressure on it, on your pencil because the spots should never be as strong as the outer lines of the drawing. Then just go ahead and she, you don't have to put a lot of pressure, shade it slightly, don't worry if the shade lines are going outside of the other lines, It will look good anyway. Yes, I think this looks good. It can maybe strengthen some of the lines here slightly. I think this looks good. So there you have a very cute cat. Even though it doesn't have a huge head, it looks very, very nice and cute because you still have a very nice round shape, giving that very lovely expression. When it comes to drawing things that are looking cartoony, it's all about keeping things very simple. This is a last drawing. I want to thank you for taking this course. I hope you had great fun and learned a lot and smiled a lot. Finally, show your drawings. It's the best way to draw your confidence. Show your work to friends and family.
