How to draw a cat with a pencil?

A cat is a very graceful and graceful animal, which is often depicted in various paintings, souvenirs, etc. In this article, we will analyze how you can draw a cat in pencil step by step.

Drawing a cat

1. The first thing to start with is markuppages. This will help in the future to maintain the proportions and properly organize space on the sheet. At the first stage, it will be enough to draw an oval (this body) and a circle (this is the head).
2. From the oval we draw paws. The hind foot forms a semicircle and a small tip of the foot. The front foot looks like a curved line, which at the end represents something like a loop. The upper part of the oval is smoothly connected with the circle.
3. In the circle, draw a cross that is slightly offset from the center to the left.
4. At the next stage we draw the ears and the tail. The tail is made long enough. It should end at the level of the cat's head.
5. Now we'll deal with the muzzle. Will draw it in place of the cross. At the level of the horizontal line draw the eye, parallel to the vertical dash - the nose, in the lower half of the head - the mouth.
6. To make the cat look more realistic, all smooth lines are accompanied with strokes that will mimic the wool.
7. We remove all lines of marking and rough strokes, which do not constitute the general contour of the animal.
8. We paint the fur of the cat all over the body, and not just along the contour.
9. At the final stage, we cast shadows.

2. Around these circles begin to draw a contour of the cat. From above we draw ears, between the first and second circle - the neck, between the second and third circle - the back, at the bottom of the lines there will be paws.
3. Now smoothly connect all the lines.
4. The muzzle is drawn so that its contours go beyond the boundaries of the first circle.
5. Delete the line markings and begin to draw the details of our cat.
