Cat Playing Yarn Ball

Oh man, this cat drawing is adorable! For a beginner, I’d say focus on the basic shapes first. You’ve got the round body, triangular ears, and that big ol’ ball of yarn. Start with those simple forms and build from there.
I remember when I was first learning to draw cats, I kept getting hung up on the details. But my teacher was like, “Just draw a potato with ears!” and it totally clicked. Simplifying is key for beginners. Speaking of which, I gotta finish prepping for this workshop I’m teaching next week. Anyway, for this drawing, I’d probably lose some of the texture lines in the cat’s body. Just go for the outline and maybe a few key shadows. And the yarn ball could be simplified to basic circles with some squiggles for texture.
You know what’s tricky though? That tail. I can’t quite tell if it’s curled under or stretched out. But for a beginner version, I’d just do a simple curved line. Oh, and don’t forget the face! Those little eyes and smile are what give it so much personality. Just two dots and a curve, basically. Keep it super simple and cute. I mean, that’s what makes these kinda drawings so appealing, right? They’re not trying to be realistic, just capture the essence of a playful kitty.
Cat Perched On Gravestone

Hey there! So I just finished sketching a cat myself, and this little guy caught my eye. You know what really makes this drawing pop? The way the artist added those tiny whiskers on the cat’s face. Super subtle, but it gives so much life to the character.
I gotta say, the texture on that wooden post is pretty impressive too. See how they used those little lines to create a woodgrain effect? That’s the kind of detail that separates the good artists from the great ones. I remember when I first started out, I’d always forget to add texture to things like that. Made everything look flat as a pancake.
Oh, and check out the grass at the bottom! It’s just a few quick strokes, but it grounds the whole piece, ya know? Adds a sense of place. Though… I’m not totally sure if that’s supposed to be grass or maybe some kind of shadow? Either way, it works. Reminds me of this time I was drawing a cat on a fence and I couldn’t figure out how to make it look like it wasn’t just floating in space. Took me forever to realize I needed to add some environment around it. Anyway, where was I? Oh yeah, details. The little bell on the post is a nice touch too. Makes you wonder what the story is behind this cat and that post. Is it waiting for someone? Did it climb up there to get a better view? That’s the fun part about drawing – you can hint at all sorts of stories without spelling everything out…
Cat Hugging Witch Broom

Okay, so you’re tackling this cute cat drawing, huh? First thing I’d say is focus on those big ol’ eyes. They’re the heart of this piece, ya know? Make ’em round and glossy – that’s what gives the cat its adorable, wide-eyed look. I remember when I was starting out, I’d always mess up the eyes and end up with a cat that looked kinda… possessed. Not the vibe we’re going for here!
Now, about those whiskers and fur tufts. They’re all about quick, confident strokes. Don’t overthink ’em. Just… let your hand go wild for a sec. It’s pretty tricky to get that loose, sketchy feel at first. I used to obsess over making each line perfect, but that just made everything look stiff. Oh, speaking of stiff, there’s this guy at the table next to me who’s sitting ramrod straight while typing. Wonder what he’s working on…
Anyway, back to the cat. The brush it’s holding – that’s a cool detail. It gives the whole thing personality, you know? Like, this isn’t just any cat, it’s an artist cat. Or maybe a witch’s familiar? I dunno, my imagination’s running wild here. But yeah, when you’re drawing that brush, don’t worry too much about getting all the bristles exactly right. Just suggest them with a few quick lines. The overall shape is more important than
Ghost Cat Inside Mirror

Oh man, this drawing is such a fun take on the classic portrait style! The way the artist framed that adorable chubby cat in this ornate, fancy mirror frame is just *chef’s kiss*. It’s like they took this stuffy old portrait concept and gave it this playful, modern twist.
I gotta say, I’m really digging the linework here. It’s got this loose, sketchy quality that gives the whole thing so much life and personality. I’ve tried doing similar styles before and let me tell you, it’s not as easy as it looks to make something feel this effortless. One time I was working on this series of animal portraits and I kept overworking the lines trying to make them perfect. Big mistake. Anyways, the key is to just let your hand flow and not overthink it.
The color palette is another thing that really makes this pop. That teal background against the white cat – it’s simple but so effective. Although… I’m not totally sure if that lighter part is supposed to be a reflection or just a stylistic choice? Either way, it works. Oh! This reminds me, I need to pick up some new teal markers before my workshop next week. Gotta make sure I have enough supplies for everyone. But yeah, if you’re trying to recreate this style, don’t be afraid to keep your colors bold and limited. Sometimes less is more, you know?
Cat Holding Trick Or Treat Bag

Okay, so I’m not gonna lie – this little cat drawing is super cute. But let’s talk about how the artist creates depth here. It’s subtle, but effective.
First off, the bowl the cat’s holding. See how it’s got that slight curve at the top? That instantly gives it volume. And the way the cat’s paws wrap around it – that’s key. It makes the bowl feel like a real 3D object. I remember when I first started drawing, I’d always forget to make objects interact properly. My characters looked like they were just floating next to things instead of actually holding them.
The other big thing here is the scattered chips or whatever those triangles are. They’re not just flat on the page – some are tilted, some overlap. That creates a sense of them being scattered in space, not just stuck to a flat surface. It’s a small detail but it really works.
Oh, and I almost forgot – the shading! It’s minimal, but those little grey spots under the eyes and on the paws? They ground the cat, make it feel less flat. I’m not totally sure, but I think there might even be the tiniest hint of a shadow under the bowl.
You know, I was working on a similar style cartoon just yesterday. I kept overthinking it, trying to add too much detail. But this artist nails it with just a few simple elements. Sometimes less really is more – who knew?
Ghost Cat Holding Lantern

Alright, so you wanna capture the proportions of this spooky little ghost dude? First thing I’d do is break it down into simple shapes. The body’s basically just a big ol’ blob with some wavy edges. And those eyes? Two perfect circles. Easy peasy.
I remember when I was first learning to draw, I kept trying to make everything super detailed right off the bat. Big mistake. You gotta start with the basics. Speaking of which, I was just flipping through some of my old sketchbooks earlier – man, some of those early attempts were pretty rough. But hey, that’s how ya learn, right?
Now, for teh trees… those are a bit trickier. They’ve got all these twisty branches and stuff. What I’d suggest is starting with the main trunk shapes, then kinda building out from there. Don’t get too caught up in every little twig tho. Focus on the overall flow. Oh, and that lantern hanging there? That’s a great reference point for scale. Use it to keep everything else in proportion.
Y’know, this whole scene reminds me of this time I went camping and swore I saw a ghost in the woods. Probably just my imagination running wild, but still… Anyway, where was I? Right, proportions. Just remember – practice makes perfect. Or at least, practice makes better. Nobody’s perfect, am I right?
Cat Holding An Old Book

Alright, let’s dive into this cute kitty drawing! The composition is super clever – it draws your eye right to that adorable cat face peeking over the book. The way the artist positioned the cat’s paws on the book edges? Genius. It anchors the whole image.
I remember trying something similar years ago with a dog reading a newspaper. Total disaster. The proportions were all off and it looked more like a bear eating a sandwich. But I digress…
The shading on the book is pretty impressive. Those little lines really give it texture, ya know? Though I’m not 100% sure about that spine – is it meant to be leather binding? Anyway, the contrast between the detailed book and the simpler cat design is what makes this work. It’s all about balance.
Oh, and check out how the cat’s tail curves up on the left! That little detail adds so much movement to an otherwise static pose. It’s the kinda thing that separates good artists from great ones. I once had a teacher who would always say “Don’t forget the tail!” Guess it stuck with me.
Anyway, if you’re trying to recreate this style, focus on those big expressive eyes and keep the rest simple. And don’t be afraid to play around with proportions – that oversized head is what gives it so much charm. Just have fun with it!
Cat Flying On Broomstick

Oh wow, this cat on a broomstick is adorable! I love how simple yet expressive the linework is. You know what could be a fun twist? Instead of a regular broom, make it riding one of those robot vacuums! I did something similar once with a mouse character – gave it a little jetpack instead of wings. Totally changed the vibe.
The stars and sparkles are a nice touch too. Maybe play around with different magical elements? Like, what if the cat was conjuring up a storm cloud or leaving a trail of bubbles behind it? Ooh, or give it a wizard hat! Though I’m not totally sure how that would look with the ears… might take some experimenting.
I really, really dig how the cat’s face is so minimalist but still super cute. You could push that further – try making the whole body just basic geometric shapes. Like, a circle for the body, triangle ears, that kinda thing. I’ve been on a major minimalist kick lately, trying to see how much I can simplify without losing the essence. It’s tricky but super fun when it works. Anyway, whatever direction you go, just have fun with it! Art’s all about playing around and seeing what happens.
Ghost Wearing Witch Hat

Okay, so this cat witch drawing – it’s got a super simple but expressive style, right? I love how it uses just black and white to create a bold look. You could totally apply this to, like, a grumpy old man character or even a funky alien creature.
I’m not gonna lie, I tried something similar once with a series of cranky vegetables. Picture a surly carrot with that same kinda pointy witch hat – it was hilarious! The key is keeping the lines loose and sketchy, but still having a clear silhouette. Maybe try… I dunno, a disgruntled office worker with a stappler for a hat? Or a moody teapot? The possibilities are pretty much endless.
One thing I’m not totally sure about is how they got that textured look in the black areas. Could be a brush pen or maybe digital brushes? Either way, it adds a nice bit of depth. Oh – and don’t forget those little star sparkles! They really sell the magical vibe. I always keep a white gel pen handy for adding those kinda details. Speaking of which, I should probably organize my pen collection soon. It’s become a bit of a disaster area in my studio lately. Anyway, just have fun with it and don’t be afraid to get weird!
Cat Wondering By The Window

Wow, this drawing really nails that cozy witchy vibe. I’m diggin’ the contrast between the cute lil cat and the spooky nighttime scene. The artist def knew what they were doing with the black and white – it’s simple but so effective.
The mood is all about that magical nighttime feel, ya know? The way they’ve drawn the window with the moon and stars, it’s like you can almost feel the cool night air. And those candles! They add this warm, flickering light that balances out the darkness. It reminds me of this time I was sketching late at night by candlelight – there’s something so atmospheric about it.
The cat is the real star here though. Its big eyes and little smile give it this mischievous but friendly look. I’m not totally sure, but I think it might be wearing a witch hat? Either way, it adds to that magical feeling. Oh man, speaking of cats, I once tried to draw my neighbor’s cat and it ended up looking more like a weird blob with whiskers. Cats are pretty hard to get right! But anyways, the way this artist has positioned the cat, it’s like it’s inviting you into its cozy little witchy world. It’s a pretty cool effect.
Ghost Cat Floating At Night

Hmm, this little cat moon drawing is pretty cool. You know what might be fun to recreate this? Cotton balls and charcoal. Seriously. The fluffy texture of cotton could mimic that soft fur look, and you could shape it into that round moon shape. Then use charcoal to add the dark background and details.
I tried something similar once for a workshop I was teaching. We used cotton balls dipped in white paint to make cloud shapes, then added details with markers. It was a mess, but the kids loved it. Anyway, for this cat drawing, you could even try using actual cat fur if you’ve got a white cat around. Though that might be a bit weird, haha.
Oh, and for the stars and moon details, what about using a white paint pen? Those things are awesome for adding crisp little highlights. I always keep a few in my bag for touch-ups. Speaking of which, I should probably order more for that workshop next week… But yeah, experiment with different materials. Maybe even try sculpting the whole thing in clay and then photographing it? The possibilities are endless when you start thinking outside the box.
Ghost Cat Wizard

Hey there! So this drawing’s pretty cool – I love how they’ve used the negative space around the cat to really make it pop. The starry background is a neat touch. It’s not overdone, ya know? Just enough to give it that magical vibe without cluttering things up.
The way they’ve left white space around the cat’s outline is key. It makes the cat stand out as the focal point. I actually just finished a similar witchy cat drawing myself last night, but I kinda messed up the proportions on the hat. Ugh, drawing hats at an angle is trickier than it looks!
Anyway, back to this one – the negative space also helps create depth. See how the staff thing and the cat’s tail sorta fade into the background? That gives it a sense of… what’s the word… dimensionality? Is that even a word? Haha. But you get what I mean. It’s not just a flat image.
Oh, and I gotta say, the simplicity of the cat’s face is brilliant. Just a few lines for the eyes and nose, but it still manages to look so darn cute and expressive. Sometimes less is more, you know? I tend to overwork faces in my own drawings. Gotta work on that.
Ghost Cat Curled On The Moon

Okay, so the first thing that jumps out at me is the texture on that crescent moon. I’m not gonna lie, I’m a sucker for little details like that. The artist didn’t just draw a smooth curve – they added all these tiny lines and dots to give it this rough, cratery surface. It’s subtle but it really brings the whole thing to life.
I remember when I was starting out, I used to struggle with textures like that. I’d either overdo it and make everything look messy, or I’d chicken out and leave everything smooth and flat. One time I spent hours on this woodland scene, but all the tree trunks looked like telephone poles – no bark texture at all! It was pretty embarrassing. But practice makes perfect, ya know?
The stars are another nice touch – especially how they vary in size and shape. Some are just little dots, others are more defined star shapes. And did you notice the couple of red stars mixed in there? That’s a cool little pop of color. I’m not totally sure why the artist chose red specifically – maybe to match the cat’s ears? Or just to add some visual interest. Either way, it def works. Speaking of the cat, those curled up paws are adorable. Getting animal anatomy right can be tricky, but they nailed the relaxed, sleeping posture here. Makes me wanna curl up for a nap myself!
Ghost Cat Kissing Her Kitten

Wow, this is such a cool little sketch! I love the simple black and white style. It’s got this great graphic novel vibe going on.
So, to add some texture… hmm. You know what could be really neat? Try using some crosshatching or stippling in the shadowy areas. Like, maybe under the bigger cat’s body or in the little swirly tail. I remember when I was first learning to draw, I’d go crazy with crosshatching everything. My old sketchbooks are full of these overly-detailed messes, haha. But done right, it can add so much depth.
Oh! Another idea – you could play around with with some splattery ink effects. Like, take an old toothbrush, dip it in ink, and flick it onto the page. It’d give this cool grungy texture that’d contrast nicely with the clean lines. Just be careful not to overdo it. I once ruined a whole drawing trying that technique – ink everywhere! But when it works, it really works. Kinda makes me wanna dig out my pens and try something like this myself now. Those cats are just too cute.
Cat Dressed As Campire

Okay, so this little vampire cat drawing is pretty darn cute. But let’s talk perspective! I’m not gonna lie, changing up the angle could really amp up the impact. Like, imagine if we zoomed in on just the face – those big eyes and tiny fangs would be even more adorable up close. Or what if we went for a low angle looking up? Suddenly our cute kitty becomes this looming, kinda ominous figure (in an adorable way though).
I actually did something similar once with a bunny character I was working on. Started out with a straightforward view, but then I tried drawing it from above and it completely changed the vibe. Made the ears look huge and gave this cool foreshortened effect to the body. Took me a few tries to get it right though – perspective can be a real pain sometimes.
Anyway, back to this vampire cat. Another cool idea might be to play with the cape more. Maybe have it billowing out dramatically, or wrapping around the cat in interesting ways. Could add some nice visual interest and movement to the piece. Oh, and speaking of movement – what if the cat was mid-pounce or something? That’d be a fun challenge to draw, trying to capture that sense of action. Though I guess that’s getting away from just changing perspective… My mind always wanders when I’m thinking about art stuff. But yeah, experimenting with different viewpoints can really breathe new life into a character design!
Cat Wearing Pumpkin Costume

Okay, so this little cat-in-a-pumpkin drawing is pretty darn cute. I’m not gonna lie, I’ve drawn similar things myself when I’m feeling festive. The contrast here is spot-on – that stark black and white cat against the bright orange pumpkin really pops.
The artist nailed it with those simple lines too. Like, you’ve got the soft curves of the pumpkin and cat face, but then these sharp angles on the witch hat and jack-o’-lantern eyes. It creates this cool tension… Reminds me of a Halloween card I made last year that just didn’t quite hit the mark. I tried to do something similar but ended up with a blob that kinda looked like a sad ghost instead of a cat. (Drawing cats is weirdly hard sometimes, y’know?)
But anyways, back to this piece. The way they used negative space is pretty clever – leaving the cat mostly white except for those little details. And that orange… it’s not like, aggressively bright, but it’s definitely eye-catching. I wonder if they used markers or maybe digital brushes? Hard to tell from the image. Either way, it’s a solid example of how you don’t need a ton of colors or crazy details to make something fun and eye-catching. Sometimes simple is best, especially when you’re going for that cute Halloween vibe.
Cat On Top Of A Pumpkin

Okay, so this little cat on a pumpkin is pretty cute – but let’s talk about how to make it pop a bit more. First thing I’d do is give that kitty some movement. Maybe have its tail curled up in a playful way or one paw reaching out like it’s about to bat at something. That’d instantly make the whole scene feel more alive.
Honestly, I once drew something similar for a Halloween card and I added some flying bats in the background. It really helped create a sense of motion around the main subject. You could try that here – or maybe some falling leaves swirling around? Anyways, the key is to break up that static pose.
Now for the pumpkin itself – I’m not totally sure, but it looks like there’s a bit of watercolor going on there? That’s cool, but you could push it further. Try adding some deeper orange tones and maybe even a hint of green near the stem. Oh! And speaking of the stem, why not make it a bit more gnarly and twisted? That’d give the whole thing more character. Honestly though, the most important thing is to just have fun with it. Don’t be afraid to experiment and make mistakes – that’s how ya learn and develop your own style. I’m actually gonna be talking about this exact topic in a workshop next week. Funny how these things line up sometimes!
Cat Tangled Up

So, this little kitty sketch is pretty darn cute. I’m not gonna lie, I kinda wanna try adapting it into a wire sculpture. You could totally capture that messy tangle of lines around the cat’s body with some thin wire – maybe copper or something that’ll patina over time.
I once tried making a wire bird’s nest in art school and it was a total disaster at first. Kept poking myself and the wires wouldn’t stay put. But once I got the hang of it, it was kinda zen, y’know? Anyway, for this cat you’d wanna start with the face outline, get those pointy ears just right. Then go wild with the chaotic nest part.
Oh! Another idea just hit me while I was people-watching here at the café – what if you did this as like, a reverse scrath art thing? You know those black boards you scratch designs into? You could do the cat outline in white chalk, then go nuts with random scratches all around it to mimic those scribbled lines. Might be a cool effect, although I’m not 100% sure how well the details would show up. But hey, art’s all about experimenting, right?
Ghost Cat Inside A Crystal Ball

Okay, so this drawing’s got a cool circular pattern thing going on. The artist used this big round shape as the main focus, kinda like a snow globe or crystal ball. And inside that, there’s this cute chubby cat surrounded by little stars. The repetition of those star shapes both inside and outside the circle really ties it all together.
I remember when I was first learning to draw, I’d always struggle with making patterns feel cohesive. Like, I’d throw in a bunch of random shapes and hope for the best. But this artist nailed it by keeping it simple – just stars and dots, but placed real thoughtfully. The way they scattered the stars around the cat and then echoed that outside the circle? Pretty clever.
Anyways, another thing that catches my eye is how they used lines to create texture. See how the cat’s all fluffy looking with those short strokes? And the circle has this sorta… I dunno, maybe a glassy feel with those curved lines? It’s a neat way to add depth without going overboard on details. Oh! And speaking of details, I’m digging those little whiskers on the cat. Tiny touches like that can really bring a drawing to life. But yeah, overall it’s a great example of how repetition can make a simple concept feel polished and put-together. Makes me wanna break out my sketchbook and try something similar… right after I finish organizing this mess of colored pencils. Why do I have so many blues??
Ghost Cat Sleeping On A Cloud

Oh wow, the first thing that caught my eye was definitely that adorable little cat curled up on the cloud! I mean, how cute is that? The way it’s all snuggled up, eyes closed, just totally peaceful. It reminds me of this series of animal sketches I did last year – I was really into drawing sleepy critters for a while there.
The linework is super clean, which is great for a beginner to study. You know how sometimes you’re tempted to add a bunch of extra details? But here, the artist kept things simple and it really works. The little texture on the cat and cloud gives just enough visual interest without going overboard. I’d suggest practicing that kind of restrained shading technique – it took me forever to stop overworking my drawings!
Anyways, the whole nighttime vibe with the moon and stars is really effective too. Though I’m not totally sure if that’s meant to be a cloud or maybe a pillow? Either way, it creates this dreamy floating feeling. Oh, and speaking of dreamy, I just remembered I need to finish tidying up my paint supplies before bed. But yeah, overall this is a super charming piece that any beginner could learn a ton from studying. The composition, the line quality, the balance of elements – it’s all really solid stuff to analyze and try replicating.
Cat Poking Out From A Cauldron

Alright, so if I were sketching this quickly, I’d definitely start with that big ol’ cauldron. It’s the anchor of the whole piece, you know? Get those basic shapes down – the round opening, the body, maybe a hint of the feet. Honestly, I’d probably go a bit overboard on the cauldron texture at first. I always do that – get caught up in the details too early. But hey, that’s just me.
And then that cat! Oh man, I love how expressive it is. I’d rough out its basic shape popping out of the cauldron, then focus on those big eyes and that goofy open mouth. That’s where the character really comes through. Reminds me of this time I was trying to draw my friend’s cat – kept getting the eyes all wrong and it looked more like an owl than a cat. Took me forever to figure out why.
But the real kicker here is all that splattery goodness in the background. That’s the kind of thing that can make or break a piece like this. From what I’ve seen, lot of beginners shy away from that messy, chaotic element. Don’t be afraid to just go wild with it! Flick that paintbrush, splatter some ink. worst case, you can always digital it out later if you’re working on a tablet. Or just embrace the chaos – sometimes the happy accidents are the best part.
Cat Playing With Candles

Wow, this drawing is super cool! I’m loving the way the artist uses these little cross shapes scattered all around to create a starry night sky effect. It’s pretty clever – gives the whole scene this magical, sparkly vibe without being too over-the-top.
The candles are my favorite part though. See how they used those wavy lines underneath? That’s a neat trick to show reflection and give the impression the candles are sitting in water or on a shiny surface. I tried something similar once in a piece I did of floating lanterns, but I totally messed up the proportions and it looked wonky. Anyways, the red flame shapes really pop against the black and white, don’t they? It adds just enough color to draw your eye without overwhelming the simplicity of the linework.
I gotta say, I’m not 100% sure what that blob-looking thing is supposed to be next to the candles. A cat maybe? Whatever it is, the artist did a great job with the soft, round shapes to make it look all cute and cuddly. The whole thing has this dreamy, midnight ritual kinda feel to it. Really really cool use of minimalist style while still creating tons of atmosphere. Makes me wanna grab my sketchbook and try something like this myself, even though it’s way past my bedtime and I should probably crash soon. But you know how it goes when inspiration hits!
Ghost Cats Playing

Oh man, this piece is gorgeous but it’d be a real challenge for a beginner. Those fluid, swirling lines? They look effortless but they’re anything but. I remember struggling for weeks to get that kind of smooth, dynamic motion in my own work.
The contrast between the solid black ink and the white space is pretty striking. Getting that balance right can be tricky. You want those black areas to be bold without overpowering the delicate linework. Speaking of which, the fine details on those little cat figures… that takes a steady hand and lots of practice. I once spent an entire afternoon just drawing cat whiskers over and over til my hand cramped up!
The overall composition is interesting too. The way the elements swirl together but still maintain distinct shapes. That’s not easy to pull off. You’ve gotta have a good eye for negative space and… what’s the word I’m looking for? Rhythm? Flow? Something like that. Anyway, it takes time to develop that instinct. But hey, we all start somewhere right? I bet even the artist who drew this had some pretty wonky early attempts. The key is to keep at it and… oh wait, scratch that last bit. Sounds too cliche. What I mean is, just have fun with it and don’t get discouraged if your first tries don’t look like this. Rome wasn’t built in a day, or however that saying goes!
Cat Peeking Out From Pumpkin

Honestly, this cute little cat and pumpkin combo is perfect for practicing simple shapes and lines! I’d suggest starting with the pumpkin – it’s basically just a big orange oval with some curved lines for texture. Try sketching a bunch of quick ovals, then add the jack-o’-lantern face. Don’t worry about making it perfect, just get the basic shapes down.
For the cat, focus on those round shapes – the head, the little paws. I remember when I was learning to draw cats, I’d spend hours just doodling circle after circle until I got the proportions right. Ugh, my old sketchbooks are full of wonky cat heads! But it really helps train your eye. Oh, and those pointy ears are great for practicing triangles.
The whiskers and grass are good for loose, sketchy lines. Just let your hand go wild, don’t overthink it. Actually, now that I’m looking closer, I’m not sure if those are supposed to be grass or twigs or what… but whatever they are, they’re perfect for loosening up your hand movements. From what I’ve seen, a lot of beginners tense up when drawing, so exercises like this can help you relax and get a more natural flow to your lines.
Cat Playing Autumn Leaves

Oh man, I gotta say – the way this artist captured the cat’s expression is just spot-on. Look at that little smile and those rosy cheeks! It’s so freakin’ cute but not in a cloying way, ya know? I was actually just messing around with drawing some cats myself the other day, and getting that sweet, mischievous look is way harder than it seems. This artist nailed it.
The use of color here is really, really effective too. Those warm oranges and reds of the fall leaves… it just screams cozy autumn vibes. And the way the leaves are kinda swirling around, it gives this great sense of movement. I’m not totally sure, but I think they might’ve used watercolors for that soft, blended look? From what I’ve seen, that can be tricky to pull off without making everything look muddy, but they totally avoided that pitfall.
Oh, and one more thing – the composition is just *chef’s kiss*. The way the cat is bursting up out of that pile of leaves, arms stretched wide… it’s like, the perfect encapsulation of that joyful autumn feeling, you know what I mean? It reminds me of when I was a kid and would jump in leaf piles. Anyway, if you’re trying to work on your own art, I’d say really study how they’ve arranged everything here. The balance, the energy – it’s all working together to create this awesome little moment. Man, now I kinda want to go rake some leaves…
Ghost Cat Dancing With Skeleton

Oh man, this drawing is so cool! I love the contrast between the cute cat and the spooky skeleton. It’s got such a fun Halloween vibe.
If I had to add one element, I’d probably throw in a little jack-o’-lantern somewhere. Maybe tucked behind one of teh gravestones? It’d add that classic orange pop of color and really drive home the Halloween theme. I remember doing a similar drawing years ago and wishing I’d included more traditional symbols.
Anyways, the line work here is really clean and expressive. Those bats are perfect – simple but instantly recognizable. Y’know, speaking of bats, I once did this whole series of bat drawings and… wait, nevermind, getting off track. Back to this piece – the grass details and bare trees really set the creepy graveyard scene. Though I gotta say, I’m not totally sure what those little v-shaped marks are supposed to be. Fallen leaves maybe?
Ghost Cat Hugging Bat

Okay, so I’m looking at this cute little cat drawing. I’m not gonna lie, when I first started out, I used to struggle with getting the proportions right on cartoon animals like this. The big pitfall to watch out for is making everything too uniform and symmetrical. See how the artist here gave the white cat this big round body but kept the black cat all small and scrunched up? That contrast in size and shape is what makes it work.
But here’s the thing – clouds are weirdly tricky to draw. I remember spending hours trying to get them to look all soft and fluffy without just being boring white blobs. The way they did it here with those little curly lines and bits of shading… that’s smart. Gives it texture without overcomplicating things. I was at this café last week actually, watching the clouds roll by, and I started sketching them in my notebook. Totally different vibe from these cutesy cartoon ones, but same principle of suggesting fluffiness without drawing every little detail.
And speaking of details, don’t get too hung up on making everything perfect. The charm of this style is in its simplicity. Like, I can’t quite tell if those pink spots on the white cat are meant to be cheeks or what. But it doesn’t matter! The overall effect is what counts. Just let your hand flow and don’t overthink it. Sometimes the best art comes from happy little accidents, as a certain painter used to say…
Cat Chasing Butterfly

Honestly, the first thing that jumps out at me about this drawing is the clean, confident linework. That’s something beginners often struggle with. I remember when I was starting out, my lines were all wobbly and hesitant. But practice makes perfect, ya know?
The simplicity is key here. Look at how the artist uses just a few lines to capture the cat’s shape and movement. And that butterfly! It’s barely more than a couple of squiggles, but it works. I’d tell a beginner to focus on capturing the essence of shapes, not every little detail. Though I gotta say, I’m not totally sure what those little specks behind the cat are supposed to be. Dust? Seeds? Who knows.
But back to skills – gesture drawing would be super helpful for this kinda thing. Quick, loose sketches to capture movement and form. I used to do these all the time at the park, just scribbling down people and animals. Drove my art buddies crazy cuz I’d fill up sketchbooks so fast. Anyways, that practice really pays off when you’re trying to draw something dynamic like this bouncy little cat. Just my two cents, though.
Ghost Cat Looking At Floating Cupcake

Okay, so this little cat drawing is pretty cute! For a beginner, I’d say start with the basic shapes. You’ve got your round blob for the body, triangle ears, and those big ol’ eyes. Strip away all the details at first and just get those core shapes down.
I remember when I was first learning to draw cats, I kept getting hung up on the fur texture. But you know what? That stuff comes later. Focus on nailing the proportions and pose first. Speaking of which, the way this kitty is sitting is pretty straightforward – kinda like an egg with stubby legs, haha. Oh! And don’t forget that little cupcake. That’s basically just a cylinder with a flame on top.
The shading and that pink swoosh thing in the background… yeah, I’d definitely leave those out for a beginner version. Keep it super simple. Although, I gotta say, I’m not totally sure what that pink bit is supposed to be? Maybe smoke or something? Anyway, stick to clean outlines to start. You can always add the fancy stuff later when you’ve got the basics down pat. Trust me, I’ve taught like a million beginners workshops, and keeping things simple is key. Oops, I said I wouldn’t use “key” – my bad! But you get what I’m saying, right?
Cat Balancing Pumpkins

Hey there! So, looking at this cute Halloween drawing, one subtle detail that really catches my eye is the tiny swirls and movement lines around the pumpkins and cat. They’re super easy to miss at first glance, but they add this sense of energy and whimsy that totally makes the whole thing come alive.
I remember when I was first learning to draw, I’d focus so much on the main elements that I’d forget about those little touches. But man, they can make such a difference! Like, I once did this sketch of my neighbor’s dog and it looked fine, but kinda static. Then I added some subtle fur wisps and suddenly it felt like the pup could jump right off the page. Anyway, back to this drawing – those lil swirls give the impression that the pumpkins are actually balancing on the cat’s head, not just stacked there. Pretty clever!
Oh, and another thing – did you notice how the artist varied the expressions on the pumpkins? Each one’s got its own personality. That bottom one’s got this big goofy grin, while the others are more… subdued? I think? It’s hard to tell with the smaller ones. But yeah, that variety keeps your eye moving around the image. It’s a neat trick to remember when you’re doing your own character designs or whatever. Keeps things from getting too samey, ya know?
