Description Alot of people have been wondering how I draw my cats, and someone the other day ask me if I was ever going to make a tutorial on how I draw my cats. That got me thinking. So, to stop the confusing, heres part 1 of how I draw cats!

This is going to show you how to make your starter shapes, and more! Please watch these in order! Because there will be more that I will post up!

Part 2: [link]

OH! and if you see anything you would like to critique me on, GO RIGHT AHEAD! I would LOVE to now an easier way or others ways to do things!

Although I think your art is well drawn, I think you still have some improvement to do stylistically. One thing that struck me as odd was that you sketched rather slowly. A lot of artists and art classes have taught me that it's important to sketch fast to ensure that you aren't overthinking your art, and changing it to look like others' that you've seen. This method really works for me. I don't focus on any one detail too much, more or less on the overall image. I then go over my sketch with a second sketch, a more detailed but still quick outline of the features. I think if you'd try this, you will find out a lot about your own personal style e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s… " width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Smile)"/>

I understand that, but it seems like your sketch isn't. well.. sketchy A sketch isn't supposed to look like a speedily done lineart, a sketch needs to have that special rhythmic flow... you need to relax and let yourself go and not to be afraid of making mistakes and to have an understanding of form and shape. Once you know about form and shape try letting yourself go and lose all your inhibitions and preconceptions of what you might think drawing is all about.

thanks for the tip! I do admit I am very strict on what I draw, mostly because I hate drawing something and then get back to it later and hate it xD

I guess only curtain programs deviantart lets you use for video but they don't really support it because people use stolen sound tracks.
