Design Development- Cat

So I want my cat to be agile enough to stand on two legs and paw at the door, realistic in shape and proportion but simplified in the finer details.



I Played around a bit with silhouettes and head shapes to see which i preferred.




I did a few observational drawings from my cat, Sparky looking for defining shapes and characteristics.

A cat's spine, observations



Cat shape observations and skeleton research.


Simplified curves



Bingo, a design i like.


Finer details


Eyes, slanted ovals like Pangur Ban's
