In this picture
Seen mostly from behind, this seated kitten turns its head over its right shoulder. A long tail sweeps across the bottom of the picture toward the left. One front paw is visible beyond the body on the right. The large back is almost blank, broken only by small fur tufts near the shoulder and haunch.

Is this the page for you?
- easy difficulty
- The back and tail offer very broad spaces; most detail is concentrated in the small turned face.
- Skills to try
- Changing direction at the neck: The head turns across the shoulder, so the neck edge needs a different stroke direction from the back.
- Suggested age: About 5–7 years
- A broad back makes a forgiving starting area before working on the smaller face. This is a suggestion; comfort with the shapes matters more than age.
