Begin with a simple oval for the cat's head and add two triangular shapes for the ears. Sketch basic lines for the body, tail, and paws. Use light strokes to define the contours, then apply gentle shading to suggest fur texture. Experiment with pencil pressure to create a realistic effect, focusing on the darkness around the eyes and nose using a 2B pencil.
