How to Draw and Sketch Cats

By Helen South, About.com Guide

Now draw the cat's fur with casual, short strokes. Look for the longer areas of fur and the darker, shadowed areas. With a linear sketch like this, the increased mark-making used to create textures also suggests shadow, so you look for the darker areas - shadows under a ruff, or dark markings - to use it more freely. On lighter toned areas, use texture more sparingly.
