Cats have long inspired artists and are therefore found in numerous works of art. This beautifully illustrated instructional book shows the interested hobby artist how to capture the essence of the cat using a wide range of drawing techniques. In various step-by-step guides, the artist Anja Dahl explores different cat breeds, initially presenting them to the reader in easily understandable basic shapes. She complements these basic shapes with many charming image examples and a tutorial for drawing one's own pet from life and from photos. Whether a beginner or already advanced, this book provides everyone with a solid foundation for developing their own style and successfully creating their own cat drawings.
