![]() ![]() While the painting is still wet, add in a darker mix of the black shade to indicate the darker areas on the cat. You can see that I kept the colour within the lines and wasn’t too concerned about perfect edges. We will be adding more detail and colour to it. You don’t have to be too precise with this layer as it is just the base layer of the cat. Now let’s paint the cat! Using a very diluted mix of black (I used Lamp Black by Winsor & Newton), apply the colour to the head and body of the cat. This includes the initial circles and the oval. Then, draw the shape of the body around the oval as shown above.ĭraw in some indications of the legs and then erase all of the guidelines you sketched on previously. We will add more detail when we add colour! Drawing the body of the catįor the body of the cat, draw an oval about the height of two heads. Remember, this is just an initial sketch that we will paint, so it doesn’t have to be super detailed. We will paint these later.Īdd in a few whiskers and now we will get started on the body. You can now start lightly making a few marks referencing where you want some of the cat’s markings to appear. The other edge of the ear will start somewhere around the inner corner of the eye if you were to imagine another diagonal line sprouting from there. If you were to draw a diagonal line from the outer edge of the eyeball upwards, that is where the ear would begin. When drawing the ears, think about where they emerge. There is more of an indent where the cheeks meet the ears, for example. Since a cat’s face isn’t perfectly round, we will just use your initial sketch as a guideline and create more of a natural head shape. ![]() You’ll use your initial circle of the head to draw the shape of the face. If you lightly sketch two circles where the “cheeks” of the cat will go, you can then shape the mouth around them. Moving onto the mouth, draw a short vertical line from the bottom of the nose to where the mouth begins. Now define some of the edges to make the nose less triangle shaped. They are sort of tear drop shaped as well. Cats don’t normally have perfect triangle shaped noses, so you can play with the edges a little bit and create more rounded corners.Īdd the nostrils next. Moving onto the nose, draw an upside down triangle with a little dip in the top. I made these like little vertical slits, but you can also draw more dilated pupils depending on the amount of imaginary sunlight in your painting. Imagine that you are drawing eyeliner on the eyes and creating more of a teardrop shape with pointed tear ducts. Shape the eyes a little bit to make them more cat-like. Please ignore my chipped nail polish for the remainder of this tutorial! Start by drawing a circle for the head followed by two smaller circles at the half way point of the larger one for the eyes. The sketch on the left is the one we will be copying. In order to paint a cat, we have to draw one first! Here is a very simple way to sketch out a cat to paint with watercolour.
