In this picture

A kitten curls into a compact sleeping shape, resting its closed-eyed face on its front paws. The hindquarters form a rounded arc behind the head. A thick tail wraps around the lower edge and points back toward the paws. Small fur marks and whiskers interrupt the curves, but no bedding or background scenery is drawn.

easy difficulty
The curled body has large smooth sections and only a few small paw and ear divisions.
Skills to try
  • Shading a rounded form: The tail wraps across the front of the body and gives a visible edge for a darker layer.
Suggested age: About 5–7 years
The compact outline is approachable for younger colorers who are practicing curved boundaries. This is a suggestion; comfort with the shapes matters more than age.
