How to Color a Cat: Fur, Eyes & Whiskers
Cats are one of the most-printed animals on this site. A few small choices make a cat look soft instead of flat.
Follow the fur
Color in short strokes, in the direction the fur grows — down the head, out along the body.
Pick a coat
Tabby: light orange with darker stripes. Calico: patches of orange, black and white. Grey cat: soft grey with a pink nose.
Eyes last
Leave a tiny white dot in each eye. That one dot makes the whole cat look alive.
