In drawing the very much surprised cat with the bold black mousein front of her—the picture on the opposite page—a vertical,or up-and-down line, going through the centres of the twoforms with which the drawing is started helps to keep theseanimals in their correct positions. It is plain to be seen that the right way of beginning to draw amouse is to make a simple form that gives a general idea of hisbody, as the mere addition of a curlicue for a tail at once givesa fairly good portrait of a mouse. If the cat on this page were to turn around, all the mice wouldscamper away. That is a good way to draw them. Try it. DRAWING MADE EASY 51
