1. Start by drawing a foreground cat with a simple face and add shoulders below. Add another cat behind, with simple shoulders, and continue until the page is full. (Note: This art was drawn on coated paper, similar to slippery fingerpainting paper. The marker color just looks much richer on it.)
2. Trace all the lines with a black Sharpie marker. Add color only for small parts of the cat face, the body may have only black patterns added to it.
3. Fill in the background with one chisel tip Sharpie marker, taking care to leave no spots.
Thanks to Zack G., a talented 1st grader, for letting me share his artwork. Aren’t his cats too adorable?

These cats are very cute, and so effective! I like the way Zac has given each cat a different expression :)
I wish this is what my first grader was doing in art! She has defined herself as an artist since she was 2 but this year she doesn't like her art class at all :( Breaks my heart. I use your ideas to spark her creativity and she gets a kick our of your projects. Thanks :)
