How To Draw Warrior Cats Firestar

So i like to draw a lot, mainly cats, and have picked up a few tricks and stuff when drawing kitties to share with you guys. What that being said, I kinda thought that how about when sharing these little tricks/tips, I make little tutorials? Hopefully they fit the guidelines...yikes and sorry if they don't...but uh here it is!

Step 1: Lightly sketch a circle for the head. Don't press too dark on the pencil.

Step 2: Sketch out were and how you want the ears and the cross thingy for lining up and centring the facial features.

Step 3: Make this weird triangle/rectangle shape for the neck. Keep it drawn in lightly and make sure it's a decent neck size.

Step 4: Roughly at the end of the neck part, draw another circle about the size of the head (no need to be precise) and round the neck part so it connects to the bottom of the circle.

Step 5: Sketch out a slightly curved line for the spine of the feline, adding a second circle connected to it. That will be the rump or pelvic area for the cat.

Step 6: Connect the two circles with a curved line below it, serving as the underbelly part of the cat. Try not to make the cat too curvy or skinny as you want to remember there are still organs inside the cat! Also draw a smaller circle inside chest circle for the shoulder.

Step 7: Sketch out the first front leg, remembering to not make it too stubby unless the cat is petit or young.

Following this guide of having it done in shapes helps!

Step 8: Do this for the other remaining legs, following the shape leg guide thingy above.

Step 9: Add in the shape for the paws, using also half circles

Step 10: Form the toes by splitting the half circle in parts and curving each one to a bean like shape. It helps if you have a reference photo of cat paws (my reference that I use occasionally is my aunt's cat, Phoenix).

Step 11: Round out all the blocky parts (use a reference photo if needed) and add a tail which starts from the top of the third circle (the rump of the cat). Keep in mind the fur length of your feline to determine the tail (long haired cats are more prone to fluffy, plumy tail whilst short haired cats have sleeker tails, or some even have bobs)

Step 12: Clean up the drawing by erasing any unneeded or wanted lines, slightly darkening the lines you wish to keep.

Step 13: Add the details like the fur fluffs where ever you want it,

keep in mind the length of hair of your cat as certain breeds have different hair lengths

Step 14: Add the eyes, nose, mouth and whiskers (which I forgot until the end)

Step 15: Decorate it and design you cat however you please! :)

I really hope this wasn't too complicated and i find if you pick up your own little tricks, you can add your own personal flair to your felines (i also found looking at other artwork, like from the YouTuber, Riverspirit, helps you learn variety and find what works for you). If you want, post a picture of your cat in the comments or leave suggestions of what tutorial next I should do (colouring, shading, side profiles, etc.).
