Cat with Wings Drawing

If you have some students that are serious cat lovers, then this tutorial with an imaginative cat flying through the air is bound to capture their attention. It's one of those examples that show how just a few simple lines can convey very sweet emotions. The closed eyes and the short paws clutching the heart are perfect for a Valentine or Mother's Day card. Once a parent wrote me that her daughter made a drawing like this of a neighbor's cat who had just passed away. That simple gesture still chokes me up when I think about it.

Teachers looking for examples of Principles of Design can make note of the tilted body. It implies the MOVEMENT of the cat flying through the sky. The angle of the body and the curved back legs are necessary to complete the look of flying through the air.
