How to Draw Cats and Kittens: A Complete Guide for Beginners

by J.C. Amberlyn

In this step-by-step guide, J. C. Amberlyn combines her love of cats with her beautiful, detailed drawing style in order to teach beginning artists to draw many different breeds of cats and kittens in pencil and pen-and-ink.

Cats are creatures of beauty and mystery. They live among us but have never quite been tamed, drawing the ire of some and the admiration of others. They keep rodents away from our homes and offer purring companionship for those they have deemed worthy of their attention. The feline form exudes grace and flexibility and can be a joy to draw.

How to Draw Cats and Kittens continues a rich tradition of cats in art. Covering all the most popular types of cats, as well as kittens, this book gives easy-to-follow instructions for drawing cats in many poses and a variety of expressions. Amberlyn includes basic information on art materials and the fundamental mechanics of drawing so that even beginners will feel confident and successful as they learn to produce highly detailed, lifelike drawings of their fluffy companions.

This book is so much fun! I can now draw different kinds of cats and in different positions. I am trying to get my grandchildren to get interested in doing it too. My daughter is a "cat lover" and loved all the pictures and is also giving drawing cats a try.

I went from stick figures to drawing the face a reasonably good looking cat. I had to erase a lot, but since there are guidelines that need to be erased I guess I don't feel to bad about my unsteady hand adding to it.

I gave this book to my granddaughter for Christmas and she loves it. Sh loves to draw and this will help her to get her drawings more accurate. She is also a big animal lover.
