PLEASE READ THIS PINNED COMMENT!
I made several, essential mistakes on the first drawing: The neck and spine are too long. The cheeks are a little bit too wide. The shoulders don't go far enough back.
The drawings in the other videos in my cat tutorial series are more accurate.
Also, I am sorry that the beginning is too far zoomed out to see clearly what I'm doing, and that I used a bright orange for sketching, which is hard to see on the white background. The grid made it harder to see the details as well. And the music is a bit too loud.
I'm deeply sorry for all of that... My later videos have none of these issues. This video taught me to additionally use prepared sketches for better-looking and more accurate results. I always properly zoom in on what I'm drawing, and use colors for sketching that are much easier to see.
This is the best way to point out these mistakes. UA-cam unfortunately removed the ability to add text notes in the videos a while ago.
Even though this video has all these issues, I still think that it can be potentially useful. Therefore, as long as I point out these mistakes, I would say that it is still valid to be called a "tutorial". Also, something like a "perfect" tutorial doesn't exist anyways, and I never said that the techniques and knowledge I present in my videos are absolute. I clearly stated in my channel description that the purpose of these videos is to share what I learned from my studies and practices. Even after all these years, I am still a student, and I always will be.
I want to remake it, but that I would only consider doing that in a couple of years. Making these tutorial videos takes a lot of time and effort after all, and there are plenty of other topics I want to focus on too.
It still looks amazing :3
This videos has been very helpful. Do not worry about the detail of the neck and spine. Thanks for your input and we share this love for cats.
@@BeatrizAbiRached Well, it was still important to me that I add those corrections. But I'm very glad that it still was helpful to you! :3
Don’t worry! Your tutorials have helped me improve in drawing a lot more!!!!
I'm an artist too and can relate. I'm always cringing at my earlier stuff and want to correct it long after it's left my hands. Like in break into the client's house and put a little shadow where I forgot one before, haha. Author Garrison Kellor once said he would see his books in bookstores and grab a pencil and start editing. You are fine. Amazing tutorial and cute-ass cats of yours too
His voice: calm and relaxing
Some artists : HELLO GUYS IMMA SHOW HOW TO DRAW A CAT.
Well, different people prefer different styles. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@Mink-tDR ʕ ꈍᴥꈍʔ
thats basically jazza
That is true, but it is all in one’s mood/opinion.
I have short attention span and his voice doesn't catch my attention, and I often distract though it's not his problem
You are underrated! As an artist that doesn't know how to draw cats but has like 4 cats this was so helpful!
Aww, thank you for your kind words!
I'm glad to be of help. There can't be enough people drawing cute kitties! :3
I have 11 cats-
BUT ALL OF THEM KEEP MOVINGG
He is not only who is underated youtube artist. But still I don't understand why he so underrated.
Same but i only have 1 cat
@@myu3168 Lmao mood😫😂
4 years later and this video is still helping! I cant find good tutorials to teach me how to draw cats, but your going in depth with this telling me why your drawing certain things. What made it really helpful and unique is that you went into depth about a cats skeleton and how its works.
I'm glad that it is still helpful!
As someone with a personal cat interest, this really helps! It is my dream to draw cat
I draw my friend's cats a lot based on photo reference. The tip about the skin connecting to the knee is good. I always notice you can't really see their thigh, which makes intuiting their anatomy hard.
I'm glad that my tip was helpful to you~
really good explanations , interesting fun fatcs ; and my drawing still looks scary XD
I'm glad that you liked my explanations and trivia!
As for your drawing, don't be discouraged if you don't achieve the results you want at the first try. Keep on practicing, and I'm sure you'll get there!
This was the calmest, most beautiful and well explained tutorial I have ever seen. I could listen to you teach all day!
Aww, that makes me very glad to read
alright how many of you are warriors fans
.
Are you stalking me?
Me
Alright u got me 🙌
Guilty
You caught me :0
I forgot how I became a subscriber, but I am so happy I am.
I have been struggling with cats, (all animals really) ,and this was unbelievably helpful!
Thank you much!! ❤️🌼
Hahah, yeah it's been way too long that I uploaded.
But awww, thanks for sticking around!
I really appreciate it~
And I'm very glad that it was helpful!
Cats are cute
@@Dragon__Fox so true
@@Dragon__Fox berry true
I watched this on a lonely day in lockdown (2021) and you warmed my heart with your information, your calm manner, your soothing voice and your clear love of cats. Fantastic.
I read this comment also on a lonely day in lockdown and your kind, well-written words warmed my heart. Thank you~
Excellent tutorial! I was looking for a genuine tutorial with systematic explanations. Not a video with some artist who just shows how he draws a cat, and the explanations are invariably "like so". So: Thank you for your actually informative tutorial! You've got yourself a new subscriber. And I've seen that you've got some more cat tutorials (poses, emotions). Looking forward to watching them!
I'm glad that you like my style of tutorials!
Thank you a lot! I appreciate your kind words and sub!
Thanks! It’s very hard to find someone who can throughly explain something and how it works, without making you feel rushed and making you pause every five seconds to process something. You made it a lot simpler for some of us and I really thank you!
I'm very glad to read that! Thank you for your kind feedback, I appreciate it a lot!
Cats used the 'extra' or nub claw on their upper leg, called a dewclaw for hunting. it's like extra grip.
Thank you for the additional info!
Omg you’re amazing! THIS IS THE FIRST VID I WATCHED FROM YOU AND I IMMEDIATELY SUBBED
THANK YOU SO MUCH, I'M GLAD YOU ENJOYED IT!
ALSO WHY ARE WE SCREAMING? x3
Mink - the Drawing Researcher BECUASE THIS IS AMAZING!
no srsly tbh the best tutorial ever seen
That's very nice of you to say, thank you! I appreciate it a lot~
Mink - the Drawing Researcher :3
Great tutorial! You made the anatomy very understandable and explained it very well!
Thank you!
I'm very glad that you think so~!
This is absolutely fantastic! It was well worth the wait ~! I'm really excited you are back uploading and I can't wait to see more videos!
Also your comic is adorable
Thank you!
It always cheers me up to read your kind words
Ha! My cat loves water. Pretty sure he's secretly RiverClan.
Are you talking about Warrior Cats? I haven't read the books, if that's the case.
But yeah, there are some exceptions, and I find them hilarious, hahah.
They look so silly and cute in the water :3

I've never been able to draw animals that great so i'm going to try this tutorial! i will make an edit.
I hope that my tutorials are going to be helpful for you!
I dont see how you have so few likes. This is the best and simply most accurate tutorial I've ever seen! I hope you go far, and keep up this great work!
Thanks a lot for your kind words!
Regardless of how many views and likes my videos have, I'm glad that my videos are helpful to people~
@@Mink-tDR That's so selfless! You still deserve so much more than you have. Not only because your tutorials are helpful, but because you clearly put in a lot of effort. I'm even considering redoing my cat tutorial with your help.
Well, to be honest, of course I wish my videos would be doing a bit better, hahah.
But oh well, I'll keep on focusing on producing more videos.
Oh, cool! If you redo it, I hope it will turn out well~
@@Mink-tDR Thank you so much!
As an owner of 3 cats, this was very cool to see how you used studies on cats to draw this. Your voice is so peaceful too.
Thank you! Owning cats myself was very useful for my studies, hahah~
@@Mink-tDR I subed and wanted to let u know that ur doing very good

I'm glad that you like my tutorial style
I love absolutely everything about this video

Thank you so much for your nice comment~
/ Woah! Absolutely amazing! Best tutorial ever! You made it so simple, and explained so well! Plus, the art was beautiful. \
Thank you!
Very nice of you to say~ :3
This was incredibly helpful! I love your approach of showing the anatomy - it makes it so much easier to grasp than if someone just tells you where to put lines!
I'm very glad that you found it helpful, and that like the approach of my tutorials!
It takes quite some work to prepare all of that information, so I appreciate your comment!
This is so good and you are so calming I fell asleep in the middle the first time i watched this video😭
Thank you for the tutorial!
Heheh, that makes me glad
I love ALL your tutorials! I've learned so much about all sorts of animal anatomy and i found out I could actually make really good drawings like the dragon in my profile pic! You inspired me to do so much!
Aww, thank you so much! I'm really glad that my tutorials were helpful to you!
The dragon in your profile pic indeed looks awesome! Great job~
this is so relaxing and beautiful
Thank you
Thanks for this video. I'm totally a cat person. I love all them, but I'm just terrible drawing animals. This video gave me a good insight how the cat body works and how achieve their unique poses
Yay, I definitely am a cat person too! (which is probably pretty obvious, hahah)
Just keep on practicing and studying, and you'll get better at drawing animals in no time!
I'm glad that my video was helpful to you~
your voice be so calm and your skill be good
And your comment be so kind~
Your videos are so good! Thank you for making them and creating those cute animations in the left corner too
I'm very glad that you like them! :3
so easy to understand yet so professional
I'm glad you think so!
@@Mink-tDR umm, thanks, that was fast...for a 3-years-old video
anyway, thank you for this great tutorial
:D
I just found this video and I must say thank you! Your voice is very calm and your explainations are very detailed. I can't wait to watch more of your videos!
That makes me very glad to read. Thank you for your kind words
Bro is so calm about everything. Too calm..
You're so kind! I love your personality. Thank you for your amazing videos! This video taught me a lot. Both about drawing but also about cats. I love all the small facts you included in the video :D
Aww, I'm really glad that you like my videos!
Thank you so much, this tutorial was so helpful, and I loved seeing you with your cats.
You are a really great teacher, I love the way you explain each part methodically and with the pictures beside.
Thank you again!
Thank YOU so much for your feedback!
I'm really glad that you like my methods of teaching!
It was a real good scientific lecture.
(I was expecting more drawing than the scientific properties itself)
I literally study about cats emotions for a simple cat drawing
this video makes you know how to draw cat and at the same time relax
Chill vibes~
Mink , sinix and bob ross are my drawing holy trinity
Amazing tutorial❤️
Bob Ross is one of my biggest inspirations, so being named together with him feels like a huge honor to me.
Thank you!
Thank you for this nice and educational tutorial! You go straight to the point and the tutorial is easy to understand and follow along! Thank you!
I'm very glad that you liked it!
I just found you. LOVE how you do your videos. So fun and informative! you are a precious person and I love how you cherish Hokko. Thank you
I'm very glad that you like my videos!
i was getting frustrated by trying to draw my cat and saw this video and was like "yeah i'll watch just a couple minutes and skip unnecessary parts". Well...i watched all the video and made me really relax a lot and gave me some helpful tips i didn't thought about!
Awesome, I'm really glad that it was helpful to you!
Thank you for this! With your lovely way of explaining you opened up my eyes to drawing with anatomy. It's really new to me and I'm happy I got introduced to it so soothing, relaxing and grounded. Definitely gonna subscribe!
Thank you! I'm really glad that it was helpful to you!
And yeah, learning anatomy can be really useful. Even if you are not going for a realistic drawing style. The advice you often hear, "Learn the rules, and then break them", does make sense.
Thank-you Mink, I’ve watched all your cat drawing videos now and they are really informative and interesting. I’ve learned a lot. Take care. Juli
Thank you, Juli! I'm really glad that you enjoyed my series of cat tutorials!
I really did enjoy them. I also liked your obvious love of cats - you have to be a good person 😂. Have you applied your anatomical knowledge to other animals, apart from the big cats? Your approach is so easy to use and follow. Cheers! Juli
@@juliwarder6769 Thank you for your kind words~
Well, after the big cats I haven't done another animal tutorial yet, but it will definitely come in handy.
Thank you for the video! You explain really well and convincingly!
Thank you! I'm glad you liked it~
@@Mink-tDR hey, is it fine that i don't sketch before drawing (drawing the basic forms...). I find sketching really hard, i always draw first then fix it later
@@chotho4718 Of course! Draw in whatever way that suits you best~
Im getting into art now. And being a cat person... this will probably be essential.
Yo, enjoy making art!
This was soooo incredibly helpful, thank you so much
You are absolutely welcome~
I loved this video so much!! Your cats are super cute and the tutorial was very informative. Thanks for making it :)
Thank you for your nice words! :3
I love this! You make it so easy to understand. Well done.
Thank you!
I'm glad to hear that I did at least a somewhat good job explaining~ :3
Ahh...this was just lovely. You earned yourself a new subscriber!
Thank you! I'm glad you liked it~
And I appreciate your subscription!
Thank you~ I'm used to drawing humans by constructing them with basic shapes and it was frustrating me because I couldn't find anyone that showed how to do that with cats... because I guess you just don't. xD But you're the first person that I could find that actually showed how to do it right and those were great pointers for helping to make sure their face was done properly as well! I will definitely be returning here because wow... really.. Thank you.
I'm very glad that my video was what you were searching for!
This is the best tutorial I’ve ever seen for cat anatomy, it’s easy to understand and will definitely help me a lot! Thanks!
That makes me very glad
your vids are very helpful when I draw cats. Thanks!
That makes me glad~! :3
This video was extremely helpful, I've been drawing cats for a while but they always ended up looking overly cartoonish, this really helped with my warriors OCs and my drawing in general. Thank you!
I'm glad to read that my tutorial was helpful to you!
Have fun drawing more warrior cats~
@@Mink-tDR thanks! I will!
I think this video contains all the details I was looking for after all my studies whithout success. Thank your very much :)
Glad it was helpful!

Lolll the comic is super! The shower sketch 😸😸

Wow, this is an ASMR video + best teaching combined
aww, thank you
Thank you for this I lov that you show the bone structure of the kitty next to what you are working on great video very informative and your voice is supper relaxing
I left it in the picture for that very reason, and I'm glad that it was helpful~ :3
And thank you!
this was incredibly helpful, so many resources to study throughout! and i love your calm energy

Glad that you found my videos~
thank you so much for making this! Watching it and drawing along is a very pleasant experience.
I'm glad that you liked it!
THANK YOU SM!! I really needed to find a video that makes sense, and yours was really helpful !
I'm very glad
Your video was an excellent base to build from for crocheting a soft-toy portrait of my parents-in-law's extremely beloved cat that died today. The way you related all of the body parts together was very helpful! I see your note that it wasn't perfect, and I intend to watch all of your tutorials, but this was a fantastic start for someone who has no idea how cats are put together. Thank you so much, and your voice is great!
Ohh, it's always cool to read when people use my tutorials for other creative projects than drawing or painting! I'm really glad that it was helpful to you!
I'm really sorry to read that about your parents-in-law's cat... Hope they are doing ok. Losing a beloved cat, a family member, is always hard. Wish you all the best
This Video was VERY helpful thank you!
That makes me glad~! :3
Mink - the Drawing Researcher Keep it up bro!!
I usually draw more cartoony cats, but this really helps with anatomy. Thanks!
I'm glad that my tutorial was helpful to you!
Is it just me or his voice is so relaxing to hear
I'm glad that you think so
I think it's too the background Musik, but yeah... his voice is pretty relaxing too :) kinda need to concentrate to not fall asleep haha😂😂😂
So glad you are back! :-)
I'm glad that you are glad :3
This is a great video! thanks for explaining everything so well and detailed but keeping it simple and understandable. You have great skills and beautiful cats!! it was very helpful and I really appreciate all the work you put into making this video! thanks!!!
I'm happy that you liked it! Your kind words are very appreciated~
Maaaan what would I do without u thank you so much for this video!! It helped me out so much! :D
I'm glad that it was helpful to you
man this play list is the best on drawing cats
Thank you, I'm really glad that you like the playlist!
I appreciate it a lot!
This is such a helpful drawing tutorial. Even though I just make simple doodles, thinking about the proportions carefully will help me draw a better cat. I wish I’d seen this before I drew my September bujo pages😀✏️
I'm glad that it is helpful to you!
And better late than never I suppose
