| I mostly start with either the fur, the ears, the eyes, or just start out with a base and them draw the body. That what I do, I would also like to give you one more piece of advice which is to look at a picture or someone's fan-art for it. |

| Use circles. It really helps you shape out the cat. Try putting three circles in all: One for head, front leg, and back leg (cat facing side-ways.) Connect the circles with lines. ______________________________________ My Characters Stonepaw~TC MCA Requirements:

| Look at anatomy of a cat, print it out, create circles around the shoulders, haunches and head regions, trace the outline of the cat a couple of times, then draw it on paper :) ______________________________________ No available cats at the moment |

| Start with the basics, break it down into simple guidelines. Then, start with the larger parts of the cat, the torso, legs, head. Draw a bean and go off of that to make the torso, it really helps! Details come LAST! References are your biggest friend but, don't go too strict on it, use them for placement and anatomical needs. Watch cat videos to see how the face moves in different expressions or how the body moves during a certain pose to convey actual movement in your art. ______________________________________   #LEAFYALSOSINNED-Bun Don't be afraid to PM me if you want me in your plot, I'll most likely say yes! Things to look for: Look closely at Pepper's text color, it changes to a lighter color as her plot progresses! Any topic that affects a cross between Bat and Pepper will have something to do with fire. Morningfog will occasionally have a topic that relates to mornings. These may or may not be important. It's mostly just for fun. |
