First things first, you’ll need a few supplies to get started:

  • Pencils (ranging from 2H to 8B)
  • Paper (Angela recommends using Strathmore Bristol Vellum)
  • Eraser (Angela prefers a kneaded eraser)
  • Blending stump/tortillon
  • Reference photo of a cat

Once you have your supplies, it’s time to get started! Here are a few tips from Angela:

  1. Start with a basic sketch. Use light pencil strokes to get the general shape of the cat down on paper. Don’t worry about details just yet.
  2. Block in shadows. Now that you have the basic shape down, start adding in shadows to create depth. Angela recommends working from dark to light.
  3. Refine details. Now that you have the basic shape and shadows, it’s time to start adding in details such as fur texture and facial features.
  4. Blend! Blending is crucial to creating a realistic looking drawing. Use your blending stump/tortillon to smooth out any harsh lines and create a more realistic look.

Don’t forget to take breaks and step back from your drawing to make sure everything looks proportionate and accurate. And most importantly, don’t get discouraged if your drawing doesn’t turn out perfectly the first time!

Now that you have the basics down, here are a few more tips to take your drawings to the next level:

  • Use a grid. If you’re struggling with proportions, consider using a grid system to get them just right.
  • Play with composition. Experiment with different angles and compositions to create more interesting drawings.
  • Use different paper textures. Different textures can add a lot of character to your drawings, so don’t be afraid to try something new.
  • Practice is key. The more you draw, the better you’ll get!
