The bones of a cat’s spine and tail are more loosely connected than those of a human, allowing the cat’s body and tail to bend flex flexibly. This flexibility is impressively expressed by a soft back and tail that can bend freely. It’s not a very obvious part of the picture, but you should be aware of it when drawing the feet. The number of fingers on a cat differs between the front and back feet. If you’re not sure about the bend or the length of the instep, if you’re not sure whether it’s front or back, it might be easier to understand if you replace it with a human limb. The skeleton here is roughly illustrated, so if you want to know the details and exact shape, please check the picture book.įorefoot: The part of the forefoot that touches the back of the hand is short.īack foot: The part of the foot that touches the back of the foot is long.Īlso note that the joints bend with the front leg backwards and the back leg towards the front. To get a good idea of the body characteristics, it’s important to look at the skeleton first. The first thing to do is to get a feel for the body characteristics of your cat.
