Black Cat Drawing

Many students are interested in learning how to draw a black cat this time of year. One helpful tip is that they need to think about the pose of the cat, before they start drawing. Choosing one that is sitting and has its legs tucked in might look fine for a drawing. But by the time it is colored in with a dark black, all those lines disappear and it’s hard to see that it is a cat.The best solution is to draw a cat that will make a good silhouette, as in this one that appears to be walking. It’s easy to see the shape of every leg and tail too. It’s also a good chance to make those back legs look a little more realistic as the part that turns into the hip always gets wider where it attaches.Young artists will find this tutorial easy to do, just be sure to encourage careful coloring. A quick fill of black crayon or marker that leaves any paper showing (i.e. scribbles!) will not look as impressive as a solid black cat. That takes time, but is oh so worth it.

  1. Hi Kathy, I love all the cat art. They are fitting very nicely into my Storybook Art classes! Your drawing lessons work so well in the distance-teaching universe in which I now find myself. Thank you so much.

    1. You’re very welcome Jennifer. I was actually starting to focus on drawing right before the virus hit anyway, and of course have realized that it’s one area that works for most teachers and students these days. Happy to help!
