Questions and answers

What is the easiest cat to draw in pencil?

A sleeping cat curled up in a ball: it is almost one oval with ears and a tail. Then try a sitting kitten and a cat seen from behind.

How do I draw cat fur with a pencil?

Use short strokes that follow the direction of the fur, from the head to the tail. A soft 2B or 4B pencil gives dark patches, and an eraser keeps light spots on the chest and face.

Which pencil should I use for a cat drawing?

A regular HB pencil is good for the outline: its lines are light and easy to erase. For shadows and fur, use a soft 2B or 4B.
