I hope this helps someone out there
I've been seeing a lot of drawings and fan-art circulating around deviantart of supposed 'warrior cats'.
I'm sorry but there is a LOT of room for improvement on most people's cat anatomy, myself included
People! You can do it! Strive to be better!
Whenever you're drawing a cat, use a reference!
Go out there and find pictures of REAL cats and draw from them!
That is the BEST way to improve your artwork.
ANYONE can learn to draw. It just takes practice, practice practice.
I don't believe anyone is born more talented and able to draw than anyone else in the world. Its just a case that some people have more of a drive from the start to learn how to draw from a young age and those are the people who come further ahead faster.
But its not to late to start learning! Its never too late! Everytime you draw anything you improve. Learn how to see things and draw them as they appear in life. And once you can do that, then you can start to make cartoons convincingly
All pictures belong to and were taken by me.

My question is why you named the female kitten Fred if all things.

Use pictures from the internet, or even just get a couple books on cats and use the pictures from there. I have two cats, but they NEVER stay still long enough to reference from, or even to take a decent picture, unless they're asleep.

This is great for me, since I moved away from the school my friend/teacher is at. She was right in the middle of teaching my sitting cats, and I moved! So this helps me.Β

You are so right! I never thought of using my cat Ozzy for a reference. That really helps me a lot. I am better at anime style of cat drawings. I am gonna favorite this because its really cool! Thanks!!βΊ

By anatomy do you mean studying the rules of where the body is or do you mean
'Know what a xanthrophronic phetubic cord is'
xD
Also thanks,
I should probably start looking at real life cats and not looking at 100 other artists' style and trying to bond them all into one style...heh,..

I Love this very much. At first I couldn't get it right because I was too young at the time. But 4 years later, today, I try it again. Now it is so much easier for me. Thank you!

I do want to be, well, of course, better at drawing cats.
But I really like my style at the moment, I feel like adding realism into it would kind of... ruin it. Should I try to stick to actual cat anatomy, while still maintaining my style? Or is this impossible? ;n;

PearOfDiscord In reply to Mogwaifu [2015-02-07 14:30:14 +0000 UTC]
Generally, my advice would be to learn realism, so you can then stylize with an actual knowledge of how things work, which is incredibly useful for poses.Β

Okay! Thank you! I'll definitely try some actual cat anatomy tonight.Β

Is there any way to do this on Microsoft paint? I tried and the ears didn't seem to go right since you can't turn them, if that makes sense

Thanks for the help, on all of your tutorials.
For my realistic cats, I always use a refrence from google images.

Man, it should be so obvious that you need to look to real life examples to truly be even decent. However, I never thought of that. xD
Thank you!
