Description I know that in a few weeks' time, I'll look back at this and realize something that I got HORRIBLY WRONG and it'll take me another 2 years to correct it.

But for now, please enjoy a better, more accurate and hopefully more helpful 'How to draw cats' tutorial.

Download to see the illustrations more clearly (the text will be huge though- I didn't really think that through, sorry)

Took me about two weeks of looking at it so far, but I think I'm slightly better at drawing hind legs now. And possibly front legs.

YAY LEARNING THINGS.

dude, this an awesome tutorial in which you not only say what to do anatomy-wise, but what not to do. This is perfect. I shall steal every drawing here, then not give you credit and let everyone know that they're actually yours. JKLOLFACE!!!!!!!!! yeah, great tutorial, I won't actually do that , but I will have to ref this for help, thanks :3

yeah, I looked at the face shape in a different tutorial (there was more emphasis on the face), but I pretty much think of this for the body and limbs

I'm absolutely horrific at cat anatomy. Hopefully if I study this enough I'll get better at it. It looks far simpler than most other cat tutorials I've looked at so far. Thank you so much for the help! c:

Thats so cool! I love the ckull structure one. The cat is so cute then you see the skull and its like "Ummm.... thats... creepy..."
(Atleast I thought it was creepy)

LemonySprigg [2012-06-11 02:42:10 +0000 UTC]

This is wonderful!
It's great to see a tutorial that outlines the importance of anatomy and structure, rather than focusing on anime style eyes in what is supposedly a 'realistic' drawing
I'll use this once I get to my drawing tablet.

I've only been practicing drawing Cats for 3 years, Dragons and other four-legged animals for about 1, and Humans for 2. I see a lot of mistakes I used to make with Cats. I always love to give the cat a more sleeker, defined look. I love the Skinny SheCats and the more muscular, built toms. I should correct that, at least a little. xD I'm more of an Anime drawer and my older sister is the realistic one. I want to learn how to draw realistic backgrounds to give my drawings a certain edge.

Long story short, this helped me draw cats better, thanks! xD
