  • body - like a big bean
  • paws are like sausages
  • tail - curved and tapering towards the end
  • ears - triangles

  1. The next stage is connecting the forms, so that the legs are not drawn separately from the body, but so that they are one with it.
  2. Next you need to draw the natural curves of the kitten’s body and head, and draw the paws.
  3. The next step: drawing the muzzle, again, using preliminary markings. The kitten's eyes and nose will be located at approximately the same level in the drawing.
