Which cat lesson should you pick?
Pick the cartoon style if you want a fun cat with a round head, big eyes and pointy ears. It uses simple shapes and is great for kids. Pick an easy lesson if you are drawing for the very first time, and a realistic one when you want your cat to look more like a real pet.

- Start with light lines. You can make them darker at the end.
- Draw the head first, then the ears, then the body.
- Big eyes and a tiny nose make a cat look cute.
