If the image file gives you problems the PDF file below will be better.
Some printers work better with a universal format file CLICK HERE.
Start by drawing lightly so you can erase extra lines later.
BEGINNINGS
Use basic shapes to develop the outline. Use a large oval for the body and a smaller circle for the head, then a little circle for the paw under the outside cheek.
HEAD
Lightly draw guidelines to divide the head into thirds, and use a guideline down the center to keep things even. The ears are triangles on the top third, they have a line going down inside them. The center third is blank. The face is in the bottom third. The eyes are closed and are just a line that connects to the line of the nose ridge. Use a smaller circle to show the shape of the upper jaw. The nose is two lines going down ending with a down-pointing triangle at the bottom. The upper lip is just two curving lines like a rounded "W."
BODY DETAIL
The hind leg is a curved line like a stretched out letter "S." The tail is a line that follows the curve of the oval. There is a hump at the shoulder.
The ears have fur coming out of them.
The paw has two lines dividing the toes. They are rounded.
SHADING
The shading gives the cat the rounded look. Put some shade above the leg and above the tail. Use shading below the chin and shade the back where it curves under. Shade the floor under the cat.
Our cat has tiger stripes. There are three going between the ears, two on each cheek. Put stripes on the tail, the back, and the leg. When you do the stripes start at the line of the back and work inward.
