CAT SKETCH SKIN
Kitten’s tend to have blue/grey eyes when they are younger so you may want to color accordingly.įinally color the inside of the ears pink as those tend to have little hair making the skin visible. In this case the cat will mainly be white in color but you can use whatever color you like. The places where the fur tends to stick out for a cat area usually curves in it’s body. To make the cat/kitten look a little more fluffy you can also add some smaller clumps throughout it’s body.

The major clumps will be on the bottom sides of the kitten’s head (kind of like cheeks) and on the neck, end of tails and chest (where particularly fluffy cats tend to have a mane).ĭraw the clumps pointed in slightly different directions and of varying sizes to make the fur look more natural.
