While drawing animals and pets, you should explore the potential of the sharp tip of your pencil. The pencil tip, if sharpened at its lowest degree, would record the tiniest elements you see with your eyes. This would make your
drawing sharper and more realistic.
Though for an artist, showing the exact reality is not of so much
importance, while we are making a drawing like a portrait or drawings
of pets, the similarity of their faces would matter much.
In the articles given below, the
illustrations of drawings of animals like horses and elephants are narrated with
an eye of an artist. There are tips about how to draw pets like dogs and cats.

How to Draw Cat
Here in this
pencil drawing the artist has shown the example of pencil lining. The use of technique of lining is used in such a way that it has worked like shading.
The eyes of the cat define the whole mood of the portrait.
Drawing Tips: Before starting to draw, make sure about
the size of the object and how far it is lying from you, near to you or at a
distance.
Learn Drawing: Birds and Animals in Zoo: It is hard to draw the animals,
live. You may not find much trouble in drawing from the photos, but the art of
drawing live has its own rapture. I believe that the art of drawing is live art
rather than the art of memories and dreams!
Drawing Animals Live: Look at this pencil drawing. The beauty of nature and the energy embedded
in the innocent birds are wonderfully depicted in this drawing. While we draw
from a live scene, we have to notice the curves of the animal or the bird
perfectly.
If we recreate the curves and linings of the figures of the birds, we can
hear a definite rhythm in that drawing. The artwork given above is not a
mere pencil drawing; it is a full-fledged artwork in itself. In this drawing,
the artist has infused the immediacy of her art symbolized by images of the
waves and the birds flying nearby.
For me such drawings are a very homely subject, a familiar task. And for
doing this wonderful task I have to remain well-equipped, too. So while going
to Zoo with children, I keep with me this material: One 4B pencil, a good
eraser and at least a dozen white papers of A4 size.
Children do their job; enjoying the garden and looking at swans and teasing
the monkeys. And I do my job: sitting in front of a cage of either an ostrich
or a peacock. These birds have populated a very thick collection of my
sketches.
No one would miss drawing a cat if he or she has some artistic knowledge
about pencil drawing. Cat is such a lively pet and so docile that you can
portray her with much ease. Put your cat on a table, fill the room with
full light, and start sketching and drawing the cat. In the article given here,
a simple drawing of a cat is given. anyone can try it drawing.
While starting with the pencil drawing you can consider drawing the things
lying in your surrounding. The pets, living with us, like cats and dogs are the
first preference of most artists. It is because we love to see these pets,
painted and drawn. So for beginners, pets are easy subjects to draw.
However for beginners, the choice of objects to draw hardly matters. We
can choose anything lying in our immediate surroundings: it can be your table;
it can be a book lying on a table or your table clock.
If you want to go into details of the drawing the objects like your wet
towel put on the back of the chair or the hanging pyjama would be good subjects
to draw. In the initial stage. As time passes, the calibre expands; the
understanding develops.
Anything you like, anything you feel inspired by, can ignite the artistic
flame hidden inside of you. If you are an artist and have a passion to
draw objects existing in your immediate surroundings, it is very difficult to
prevent yourself from trying to draw animals and birds on paper board.
