Cats are so much fun to draw. You'll learn some essential cat structure, proportion, a hint of anatomy but mostly how to use all that in a loose, lively and flowing way to capture the essence of the cat.

Beginners are welcome to follow along but to get the most out of this class you will already be comfortable drawing simple volumes in perspective. It is intended for intermediate artists. If you aren't, I'd recommend taking my drawing boxes class. My perspective class might also prove worth a look.

We'll construct some cats carefully, and others we'll start with broad flat shapes and then draw into those.

We'll be looking to express some essential cat characteristics: Flexible, athletic, funny, floppy and fierce! Or anything else that grabs your attention.

For reference, if you have a cat, great! Use that! Or use images online, or videos. The goal it to look at a cat and capture the spirit of it by drawing it in a loose, fun way.
