CATS

Cats are very flexible, with bodies that can tighten into in a ball or quickly stretch out. This one here has a body that looks like a bag with a small, circular head. The larger the cat, the more its body parts will gain power and thickness. Those details, and the unique patterns of the coat, are what make cats so recognizable.

This cat has a small, round head with a long body extending behind it.

Unlike human legs, a cat’s hind legs have distinct “knees” (which are actually ankles) that bend slightly backward.

After the long tail and triangle-shaped ears have been drawn, it’s obvious that this animal is a cat.

Different perspectives will change the shape of the body. Sometimes the lower back may appear smaller, and the head may need to be drawn with straight lines instead of a circle.

Every part of the cat will be more stretched when it is jumping. The rear thigh becomes much more visible in a jump position, so clearly define it by drawing a circle.

The overall body size, tail, and legs of a wild cat are thicker, and the muzzle is slightly longer.

The cougar is particularly muscular and energetic. Its snout and legs are even more bulky, which you can clearly see when this cat is in a crouching position.

The cheetah is known for its speed, which makes it thinner than the other big cats. This also means you should pay close attention to where you place its legs when it’s running.
