"How to draw a cat. Start with a circle. Put a little triangle in the middle. Take from the bottom of the triangle make a little curly q hook and then go back to the same spot and make another little curly q hook. Go about to where the eye would be, make a circle and another circle and then however you want the eyes to be. Looking straight ahead. For the ears two more triangles. And I like to put a little extra line right there to give the ear a little texture. Whiskers. And there we have the face of the cat. Now for the body start out go about do a little off from the chin come down. There we have one paw. Go about right here make the second paw. And don't make the second paw come all the way up to the head. Come about halfway here and just go like that. There you have the back of the cat. Make the little marks for the paws and tail. And there you have a cat. Now if you want to give it real cat eyes you can change the inside. Like that you can make them kind of oval lemon shapes. If you want the cat to look any other way you can put the pupils facing whatever way you want it to look. A kitten is pretty much the same thing. It's just perspective. Make it smaller. And I kind of give it slightly less defined features. Maybe smaller eyes, shorter paws and there you have a kitten. "
