In this preview from Keys to Drawing Realistic Animals with Claudia Nice you'll develop the body of this cat, using varying pencil strokes and a stump to add dark and light hairs that show the value change between the dark and lighter areas of fur. Watch the full, 89-minute video workshop, to see Claudia Nice demonstrate the basics of shape, form and proportion using quick exercises to help you create a variety of animals. She then puts together everything you've learned to complete a drawing of a cat from start to finish—concentrating on capturing the pose and characteristics accurately so that the end result is a realistic, elegant (and most-likely mischievous) cat. The video finishes with a review of several different animal drawings (shown step by step) for you to use as inspiration to draw your own favorite animals.
