In this picture

An upright kitten sits next to a low, empty food bowl on the right. Its front legs run straight down to the ground, and the tail curls out to the left. The bowl has a wide oval rim and sloping sides. Whiskers and a small chest tuft are the main fine details in this otherwise uncluttered drawing.

Is this the page for you?

easy difficulty: The upright body and bowl sides are wide; the double line around the bowl rim is the narrowest passage.
Skills to try: Coloring an oval rim: The bowl opening is enclosed by two curved lines that need to stay separate.
Suggested age: About 5–7 years: A beginner can handle the body, with a pointed pencil helpful for the thin bowl edge. This is a suggestion; comfort with the shapes matters more than age.

Working with this drawing

Keep the bowl interior lighter than its outer wall to show the opening.
Use short downward strokes in the chest tuft rather than drawing a new outline around it.
