Step 6: Draw four lines under the body (two below each circle) as guides for the Siamese's legs. The first leg should bend a bit at the middle to indicate where the joints will be and at the bottom for the foot. The second front leg should have a diagonal orientation and bend a bit at the tip to indicate where the cat's foot will be. The line for the hind leg should start off diagonal at the top, then bend in the middle and go straight down and bend again at the tip. The guide line for the other hind leg should bend closer to the top and at the tip at the bottom.

Step 7: Draw a series of curved lines that connect the major shapes to complete the guide for the Siamese cat's body. First draw two curved lines on the right that connect the two large circles on the right to create the guide for the neck. Then add two more lines in the middle that connect the main circles to create the guide for the torso. Draw a long line on the left side of the body as a guide for the cat's tail.

That's it for the initial sketch! From this point on, press harder with your pencil to get a more defined sketch.

Step 8: Lightly sketch the eyes inside the head as two small ovals. Use the initial lines as guides for placement. As you sketch the oval on the right, give it a slight diagonal orientation. When you get the placement and shape of the Siamese cat's eyes right, darken the lines. Draw a point on the upper left side for the corner of the eye. Darken the outer edge of the eye on the right as well. Because of the angle of the cat's head, this eye will be slightly slanted.

Add a dark section on the lower right side of the eye on the left to further shape the eye. Draw a line under the eye so that the shape comes to a point on the lower right side. Draw a line around the eye on the right to give the shape two corners on the sides as well. Inside each eye, off to the side, draw a tiny circle to represent glare. Draw a thin oval in the middle of the eye and shade it in for the slited pupil. Draw the same shape in the cat's other eye as well.

Shade the inside of each eye to give the iris some value. As you shade the cat's irises, use a value that's a lot lighter than the pupils. Draw a few small lines above the eyes to represent fur. Use quick, short strokes to give the fur a more fuzzy texture.

Step 9: Draw the Siamese cat's nose inside the muzzle by first lightly sketching a small triangle. Place the triangle near the middle of the circle but close to the right edge. When you get the placement of the triangle right, darken the lines. Use a wavy line for the top side.

Curve the left side of the triangle as you darken the line to create the first nostril. Do the same thing on the right side to create the other nostril. Add a small vertical line at the bottom. Draw a series of lines above the nose to create the bridge of the nose. Use quick, short strokes at the top to create a furry texture.
