Nice visual step by step introduction on drawing cats.A great tool to draw line drawings depicting cats.

This book shows how to draw cats with easy to follow rules.Love this book!!

...you'll love this book! I bought this after seeing it in an online post by another artist. It gives step-by-step instructions that are easy to follow. There's a great selection of different breeds, wild & domestic cats, famous cats & kittens. The foreword contains a number of helpful hints & suggestions for improving your drawing skills...& of course, it's practice, practice, practice! The author started his career at Walt Disney Studios & taught art in several colleges; he brings some of those lessons here. A real bonus!

I am using this book to learn how to sketch. This book shows images of step by step instructions on how to draw various cats. They were easy to follow. I just wished this book also gave written instructions or a diagram on proportions. My proportions were so off that my cats looked funny, lopsided, and inaccurate. I mostly need help with the face proportions. I had to use a ruler to figure out that the eyes are placed near the mid-line of the face, and I noticed that I was drawing the mid-line too high on the face. I also think the book would have been better if they put the head shots in the front of the book instead of the middle. It's hard to draw a tiny head when I haven't even learned how to draw a larger one yet. Overall, the book was a good reference for learning how to draw cats, but it is missing written instructions.

Package arrived in good condition and on time. I think my faverite part about this book is that it actually looks like it was hand drawn. Not a lot of books out there like this due to photo shop. I have nothing agianst photoshop but it is very unique to books like this.The second part that I liked about it was how it is focussed on how the charaters are drawn. All 50 cats are very well thought out and it is easy to see how the artist came to the final piece in each sketch.This teaches you how to sketch cats its not a book with art that is there to look at. The point of drawing is knowing how to go from a sketch to a finished piece of art that actually looks believable. Your not going to learn anything unless you go through the steps and see what your drawing in many shapes not just a pretty blob with hair.Thew two things I did not like about it is that it would have been nice to see how to shade using hatching and cross hatching. Secone it would be nice to see the artists opinion on possable ways to display facial epression. Then agian I am a cartoon and fantasy artist so this may be just something that does not apply to this book due to the type of art it teaches. Over all five out of five for me.

Purchased for my cat loving granddaughter. She loves to draw and detailed drawing. Age has her own 5 visuals but the book helped as a still figure. Lol

A really great drawing tutorial of cats. Easy to follow if you're a beginner or if used to hone your skills as an experienced artist. I just wanted to improve my skills drawing the feline form.

It worked well for my son. The only thing that it was missing was the center line, on the forms, of which I am not sure why exactly you would not also have that line as well. Otherwise, I felt it was very thorough, and enabled my son to follow (age 13) step by step without a lot of drawing experience.
