    You should start with the head. Then you can start adding shoulders to your drawing, then a chest, then the torso. Go step by step, slowly, picture by picture, until you have drawn the full body.

  • Question
    How do I get the perfect skin tone when drawing an anime cat girl?
    Community Answer
    Color different skin tones off to the side, and then draw the hair color next to them. Choose the one you think looks the best! If you want to make a light skin tone, but you don't have tan, try orange, but just barely touch the paper when you color.
  • Question
    How do I draw the body of an anime cat girl?
    Community Answer
    Try starting with basic shapes, like circles, connected with lines. For the arms, make a line that goes to the elbows, then draw a small circle. Then, draw the rest of the arm. Don't bend those lines in the arm! For the torso, try drawing a line where you want the shoulders. Then, (if you are drawing a female) draw a line where you want her to get skinnier. After that, draw where you want the hips. Do the legs the same as the arms. Now, you have the skeleton of the drawing. For the legs and arms, draw around the lines you made. Try looking at pictures of other arm and leg shapes to get a more realistic look. For the torso, follow the guidelines you made, to get the shape of the torso.
