Steps

  2. Add facial features and trace the entire cat and its features with a black marker.
  3. Divide the cat's body into a series of squares and rectangles and trace with black marker.
  4. Fill the squares and rectangles with as many different patterns and stripes as you like, then fill in with a variety of colors.
  5. Add some stars in the background, and fill them with color.
  6. Complete the background, choosing a color that has a lot of contrast to your pattern cat so that it is sure to stand out.
