Probably, any child of preschool and primary school age sooner or later starts asking parents to buy him a pet. What they do not promise at the same time and what methods they do not use!
And solemnly swear to bring only good grades from school, and with a prayer in their eyes they assure that they will always wipe the dishes, set the table and take out the trash, and will sit down for lessons without reminders ... Then, questions come to mind: “But Sasha’s parents bought a dog, why can't we? ” - and promises to walk the puppy, clean up after him, train and nourish in every way. If mom and dad still firmly stand their ground, blackmail comes into play: “If you do not allow me to buy talking parrots, then I will leave to live with my grandmother, she allows me everything!” And so on ad infinitum.
Interesting
The child with tears watches programs about pets, drags all stray cats into the yard, greedily watches the happy owners of purebred dogs on the street ... Do not scold him for this. The kid wants to have a close, faithful, faithful friend, moreover, in this way he will learn self-discipline and get used to being responsible for the one he tamed. Do not make him take offense at you, constantly repeating the categorical "no" in response to all his requests. Better try to share his passion with him. If he wants a kitty, let him tell you which one, how he will call her, where she will live, how they will play ...
Ask the child to show you how to draw a
cat's face. Promise the baby that if he is obedient, before the New Year, you will write a letter together to Santa Claus and, perhaps, your dream will come true, and you will have a new tenant. And until this happens, buy him interesting books on how to care for a fluffy pet, coloring books, which show how to draw a cat for children.
Make a mask
Let him get carried away with this, find out about what joys and difficulties are encountered on the way of the owners of baleen-striped animals. Tell him how to draw a cat mask. To do this, take a rectangular piece of dense colored paper, estimate the necessary sizes so that the face of the child is closed and the mask does not stick out too much. Fold the paper in half along the nose, then again at eye level.
Draw two ovals (eyes) and carefully cut them from the inside out, making the eye sockets larger than the baby’s eyes. In their line, at the level of the nose and on the forehead, approximately at the middle of the eyebrows, make incisions, as if tucking. They will give the mask volume. Just a little one-on-one cuts on the forehead and glue. Now the tucks on the temples have diverged in different directions. There you need to paste pieces of paper. The layout is ready!
You just need to trim the excess, rounding off the mask and giving it the shape of a cat's face, and then glue the ears. Draw a mustache, stick it to the inside of the rope or rubber band and play with the baby in Kota in boots, for example. He will be distracted, cheer, and at the same time, perhaps, you will get used to the idea that having a cat in the house is not bad at all!
Create
You can show your child how to draw a cat in stages with a pencil. And it’s better to do this together - then he will understand that mom is on his side. After reading our article, you just figure out how to draw a cat.
For beginners, there are many different options. Let's start with a cute cartoon kitten named Woof. Surely this is one of the most beloved children's characters. The child will be carried away and, perhaps, for a short while will stop asking you for a real four-legged friend.
Kitten Woof
So how to draw a cat in stages? Perhaps the best pencil will be. And mistakes in which case you can fix, and then hand over the paint to the baby, let it help you in your work.
How to draw a cat in stages?
With a pencil, draw a circle in the center of the sheet - the future head of the kitten. Then, on the sides, attach to it two small triangles - ears. Each triangle-ear is divided in half. From the circle down, draw a gracefully curved line - the back. At a short distance from it, draw another line, also slightly curved - the breast. Almost at the very bottom of the back line, draw a tail - long, sticking up, slightly bent at the tip.
How to draw the eyes of a cat so that they look like the eyes of a
cartoon character? First, draw two isosceles triangles with smooth angles inside the circle-head. Then, inside each of them, slightly departing from the base, we depict an arc crossing the eye from edge to edge. Then, on the left side of the triangle-eyes, slightly above the arc, draw a semicircle. And in it - a point. The pupil itself then needs to be painted green, the semicircle will be black, and the dot should remain white, this will give a playful liveliness to the look.
Then between the eyes, but just below we draw a small triangle with the point up - the nose. And beneath it is a triangle again, but with its tip down - a half-open mouth. We attach the antennae sticking out on both sides and go to the paws. Our kitten sits half-sided, so only three legs will be visible - both front and one back. Front - in the form of slightly expanding upward columns.
The back foot should be drawn in the form of an arc, with one end approaching almost to the back. Then decorate the pads, fingers with claws, wipe the unnecessary lines with an elastic band. Pressing the pencil firmly, circle the body, eyes, tail, mustache, paws, ears. Funny kitten is ready!
Draw a purr
Now let's talk about how to draw a black cat. Let it be a regular yard smooth-haired purr. Let's start with the head. In the middle of the sheet, draw an even horizontal line - this is the future forehead of the cat.
From its middle down, draw another perpendicular line, which you end with an arc bent up. Let these lines indicate the approximate size and location of the muzzle. From the ends of the horizontal line on both sides, make the two arcs convex parts outward. They should end at about the same place as the vertical line. We outline a place for the eyes, nose, and mouth of a cat.
To do this, visually divide the vertical line into three parts and “cross out” it with two horizontal stripes. Let the top be even, and the edges of the bottom slightly bend up. With one slightly curved line running from the head down, outline the cat’s breast. Then, on the other side of the head, draw another curved line, but longer than the previous one - this will be the back. From the end of it, draw a horizontal line towards the breast - the future cat's tail. Let his tip bend a little up.
With a pencil, draw two “antennas” sticking out in different directions from the head - these will be the ears. With the arc from the center of the body to the tail, designate the hind foot. Outline the eyes, nose, cheeks with short lines. Then mark the front foot, let it connect to the breast, and with the base almost touch the tail. Fill the sticks in pointed triangles. Give the tail “volume” - draw a second one next to the first line of the tail and connect them by rounding the place of association.
The tail, as it were, is superimposed on the hind paw, and its tip with pads and claws is not visible. But the front foot is fully visible - draw fingers, give the foot the necessary bend. Then fill out the muzzle - make almond-shaped eyes with round pupils and a nose shaped like a heart. From it in both directions draw chubby cheeks. Lightly decorate the hair on the tail, on the cheeks, at the base of the paws. Draw the tip of the second front foot - it peeks out from behind the first so that only fingers are visible.
We make a drawing
Circle the main contours of all parts of the cat's body with thick lines, wipe off any excess lines with an elastic band. Since the cat will be black, start hatching. Now stronger, then weaker pressing the pencil, draw ears, back, tail. The strokes should be lighter than the color of the contours of the body. Let only the tip of the tail and legs, breast and muzzle remain white. Voila - you got the real homemade black purr!
Time to play
We hope that now it is clear how to draw a cat in stages with a pencil. If time permits, you can draw a few purrs of different colors and sizes, let the child paint them himself. Then help him carefully cut them out, stick them on the cardboard, and he will make friends with his own hands. Ask the baby to give them names. For such paper kittens, you can equip a house, put to sleep on a pillow, draw sausages and fish for them ... You can make cardboard supports for them so that the cats can not only lie, but also stand.
Connect fantasy
The largest “appoint” Pope Cat, choose mom, sister and brother; together with the child come up with funny stories with their participation. In general, the main thing is to turn on fantasy.
