    Introduction: Drawing Cats

    This book contains several examples about drawing different kinds of cats, with each little step carefully explained so the young reader could easily follow through; from composing the figure using a combination of simple shapes, up to applying the colors. The steps are designed in a way that can be applied to either digital drawing (drawing on a tablet) or traditionally (drawing on a paper).

    The drawing tutorials are designed for those with little to no drawing experience. The steps are broken down in a way that the reader could see exactly how to start, how the figure takes shape, and how to finish it. Following the process properly will help compose a well proportionate drawing with colors of different tones or shades.

    The book also includes some information about the kinds of cats given as examples. This makes this book not just about how to draw them but to know and learn a bit about these adorable animals as well.

      Drawing Tools

      Pencils

      The ‘H’ engraved near the pencil’s tip (side of eraser) stands for hardness and it ranges from 2H to 9H. A pencil with only an H mark and doesn’t have a number means 1H. The most common type (the one available anywhere) of pencil that does not indicate its grade mark is usually a 2H pencil. The B marking of pencils stand for blackness, this means that they can easily produce darker line marks and are softer than H pencils. It ranges from HB (hard and dark) to 9B (very soft and very dark), so when it comes to B pencils, the higher the number is; the softer and darker it becomes. Different brands have different softness, hardness and blackness levels, so if you are going to use a certain brand for the first time, you should try them out first before applying it on your main drawing.

      Charcoal pencils also come in different grades. The generic grades of soft, medium and hard are available in different brands. Charcoal pencils are a bit messy to work with; even the ‘hard’ grade charcoal pencil is still relatively softer compared to those with 4B to 6B grade pencils.

      Mechanical pencils are good for small and subtle detailing that requires very thin lines, instead of sharpening your pencil several times just to have a thin and constant fine point that you need. Different grades of lead or graphite is also available for refilling your mechanical pencil.

      Erasers

      Good quality erasers are essential if you are going to use a pencil for drawing. Choose a rubber eraser that is soft and not the ones that leave a faint color or worst is a scratch on the paper. Keep them on a pencil case or anything that can protect it from being exposed on air for too long because some erasers (cheaper ones) harden when it’s left lying around because it will dry out and harden.

      A kneadable eraser is very helpful for making highlights and reaching areas that are hard to access, like the gloss on the eyes or light portions of fingernails and such. It usually looks like a gray slab or a small bar of clay that can be molded or deformed to any shape you desire. It doesn’t
