In this picture

The kitten leans over the far edge of a round stone-lined pond and looks down at fish. Broad lily pads float between curved water lines. Tall flowers rise on the left, and smaller plants grow among the rim stones. The cat's tail curls upward, balancing the circular pond that fills most of the lower picture.

Is this the page for you?

medium difficulty: Fish markings, plant stems and many separate rim stones add detail around the open water.
Skills to try: Separating layers in water: Fish, lily pads and ripple lines overlap within one pond outline.
Suggested age: About 7–10 years: Small fish fins and flower centers make this a slower pencil project than a plain cat portrait. This is a suggestion; comfort with the shapes matters more than age.

Ideas

Working with this drawing

Give each rim stone a slightly different gray rather than outlining every ripple in dark color.
Keep the water pale behind the fish so their fins and markings remain visible.
