For a difficult pose like this one, it is important to observe your subject closely.

Top: Careful, uniform pencil strokes suggest a short, smooth coat.

Bottom: Use a paper stump to blend the lines in the cast shadow.

Suggesting Details When the pose is correct, begin laying in the fur. In step 2, use a soft pencil, such as a 6B, to draw the hair. Create contrast and depth by varying the density of your strokes to produce different values and layers of shading. Try not to overwork your drawing. It is better to stop shading before it seems finished than to go overboard and ruin the rendering.

Cats use body language to express themselves. A cat will mark its territory by rubbing its body against something to transfer its personal scent to the object. Sometimes a cat will rub against people’s legs to show affection and send a greeting. The contrast between the rounded, diagonal body of this cat and the vertical lines of the wall makes an effective composition.
