I've never had a student say that they didn't want to draw a cat. They make a great subject matter for boys and girls that are just learning how to draw.
1. Lightly draw two circles, the same size, in the center of the paper. They should be about half a circle apart.2. The cat body is made from drawing curves that go from the neck down, adding space around the bottom circle. (The bottom of the cat needs to wider than the head.) When complete, erase the bottom circle.
3. The eyes, nose, mouth, collar and whiskers are added to the face.
4. The tail and leg shapes are added.
5. Al the lines are to be traced with a thin black marker.
6. The cat is colored in with oil pastels. Encourage using a contrasting color for the background.
