Draw a sleepy cat on a cushion
A cat has curled up for a long nap. Draw the cat and the soft cushion it chose.
This is a drawing challenge for ages 3–18. Each age group has its own wording, and the age and level hints are an estimate. Read the wording that fits you, then make an example in the studio or find a lesson. A new challenge starts every Monday (Amsterdam time).
This was a challenge from another week. It still works, so you can draw it any time. See this week’s challenge
