Paws & Poses:
The Complete Stylized Cat Illustration Course
Everything you need to create your first cat character, even if youâve never drawn before.
You Donât Have to Be a âNaturalâ to DrawÂ
âArtists are born, not made.â
Itâs a myth a lot of us quietly believe.
⨠Maybe youâve seen someone else sketch a cat and thought, they must just have natural talent.
⨠Maybe it looks like they just pick up a pen and instantly capture the felineâs charm.
⨠Maybe youâve told yourself, Iâm just not artistic enough for that.
But hereâs the calm, honest truth:Â drawing is a skill - one you can learn, slowly and beautifully.
The artworks you admire come from practice and patience.
You donât need to be a ânaturalâ to start. All you need is gentle guidance, a willingness to observe, and the comfort of learning at your own pace.
In this digital drawing course, Iâll walk you through the basics of drawing simplified and stylized cat characters- from simple strokes to creating your own cat-inspired illustrations.
And though I draw digitally in this course, a lot of the theory can be applied to traditional drawing as well.Â
Letâs begin your cat drawing journey, one gentle step at a time.
Youâve got this :3
Drawing cats is a skill anyone can learn!
Do you feel inspired by cute, cozy cat illustrations?
Do you love the idea of drawing expressive, stylized cats but arenât sure where to begin? Are you a beginner or a casual doodler who wants to create charming cat characters with confidence?
Cat illustration isnât just for the ânaturally talentedâ - anyone can learn it!
I designed Paws & Poses: The Complete Stylized Cat Illustration Course for aspiring artists of all levels â from complete beginners to those whoâve drawn cats before but want to develop a more consistent, personal style.
Youâll learn the essentials of drawing from observation and imagination: how to notice shapes, simplify anatomy, play with poses, and bring your cats to life with personality, warmth, and charm.
Letâs unlock your creative potential - one whisker, one pose, one adorable sketch at a time.
Hi, I'm Tessa!
Also known as Jessali_TN. I'm a Dutch artist, who is currently living in Norway. My drawings can in general be described as cute, colourful and most likely containing cats. I draw what puts a smile on my face and lightens my heart. And I hope my illustrations can do the same for you.
Though I have a masterâs degree in Dentistry, my passion has always been art. Next to my daytime job, I am working on several personal projects, including a graphic novel series and now this cat illustration course!
This course fits for beginners and intermediates who want to stylize & illustrate cats with confidence. My goal isnât to teach one âperfectâ cat, but to give you tools to explore your own style so you can draw our favourite companions again and again.
Imagine a sketching experience that finally feels light againâŚ
đž You open your sketchbook or screen, take a breath, and start drawing cats with curiosity; not pressure. The fear of the blank page quiets down, and your ideas begin to flow instead of freeze.
đž You stop comparing your art to others and start noticing what makes your cats yours; the shapes, the mood, the little quirks that give them life. Each illustration becomes less about getting it ârightâ and more about enjoying the process, one playful pose and purr-sonality at a time.
đž And slowly, every page turns into what you hoped for all along: cozy, expressive, cat-filled scenes that feel warm, personal, and proudly created by you.
At the end of the course you will be able to:
Sketch Confidently
Youâll create art inspired by your beloved cats, capturing what you see with ease.
Â
Observe Fresh
Shapes, colours, and textures will become your guide as you learn to observe and translate them onto the canvas.
Playfully Explore
You will experiment, explore, and develop a personal way of drawing.
Â
Course Content
The course has 5 modules for 5+ hours of learning and practicing. It includes 30+ videos, of which most show my art process. You can pause and replay the videos as much as you want. The course is suitable for everyone, teens, adults and children because there is no explicit content. It would be best to take the course in order, because it will start from the basics to lessons at a more advanced level.Â
Practice makes perfect!Â
