Sketch the Basic Shapes
To draw the feline face, start with the basic outer oval, two lines for the top and bottom of the eyes, and an oval for the snout.
Place the Facial Elements
Add more lines for the eyes, mouth and the top of the ears, as well as a triangle for the nose.
Add the Ears and Neck
Add lines to indicate the ears and neck.
Refine the Lines and Add Details
Refine the structural lines, rounding and curving where necessary. Add details, including the pupils, nose and muzzle.
Add Shading
Erase any obsolete lines. Add shading with pencil strokes that follow the direction of the fur. Apply darker values for the stripes and shadows.
