To use the template, I put my template down on my light source and this is light pad but you can use a window anything with light coming in from the bottom. And then I just select which cat face image, I'd like to use either the long haired cat or the just a cute little short haired cat, I put my paper right on top, and then I can see the outline and I just trace around it very lightly, I don't want to scratch the paper with the pencil. And from here you can be as precise as you'd like. So if you want to go in there and tidy up some images, or some lines go right ahead. Once you have your outline done, then you want to add your features. So you can choose there are four different categories here that you can use and you can make up your own In addition, but then you just put the eyes right on that paper where you'd like them to go.
So if Here I'm just going to put this very simple one and I'm just going to create the outline on my template. It's the eyes are filled in, but I'll fill those in as I go with my painting. Then I'll choose the mouth I want and I have three of those. Happy Cat, a little kind of Grumpy Cat and then a long, longer muzzle there. So I'll just choose the one I want. Put it down on my paper and trace around that.
And from here, the next stage will be painting our image
