4) Add ears! Try not to make it to be a pointy, perfect triangle. The ear shape changes as the animal moves.

5) Add the inside of the ears and some more fur! Also add in the "skeleton" of the eyes. I draw them like very rounded triangles.

7) This might be a bit faster! Use very rounded shapes for the body, to prevent stiffness in your art. The muscles for the haunches and shoulders are going to be like either rounded triangles, or stretched egg shapes. Please don't worry if your cat looks like a plucked chicken, it will change very soon. Trust the process!

8) Now it looks even more like a chicken. But, for this step, you'll be laying down the joints and bones of your cat. Use lines to indicate the "bone", and circles to indicate "joints". These will be erased later, but having these here assist the creation of the legs itself.

9) Almost like "connect the dots", draw lines on the outside, following the "bone" line to each joint. End each leg with a paw!
