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! Every time 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.

Here is a list of other cat tutorials!

This helps a lot...although I draw my cats from sight, the faces always end up horribly disproportionate. Now I know why, and can give it another go. Thank you!

xD The expression on the cat eye perspective part, where the head was facing different directions... it made me smile.

A bit confused in the ending part ^^" Can the eyes stretch beyond the muzzle even though the muzzle cannot out stretch the eyes?

haha, my cats are like that. They get in a silly mood then they'll start dragging themselves around by their claws underneath the sofa. There is nothing more terrifying than the thought of having your toes chomped

Caks-tama8D [2012-01-16 03:45:47 +0000 UTC]

Thank you SO MUCH for this tutos !!
I just took a stray cat, and I'm fascinated on how she moves and stares, and just wanted to draw her.
But I'm not very talented, and never looked for cats expressions or movement, so this is helping me a lot !!

Thank you, and great work (:
(Began practicing today, so i'm still trying the diferent head directions.)

ps. sorry if there are any grammar mistakes.. I'm not used to write in english at all, haha

I can't seem to get the nose right, any tips?

heylorlass In reply to FifiKat [2011-07-31 10:31:05 +0000 UTC]

Start with a flat triangle pointing downwards. Then put a hole either side at the bottom corners, and a line going down through.

Noses are always parallel to the eyes
Noses on cats are different shapes depending on whether its a big cat or a domestic cat
eeehm... what else

Midsney In reply to heylorlass [2011-09-20 20:51:00 +0000 UTC]
