Tortoiseshell Cat under a Stair

A tortoiseshell cat sits beneath a wooden stair, its patchwork coat carrying small black, amber and cream shapes. Stair treads, a wall shadow and floorboards frame the low viewpoint around the animal.

Start with eyes, ears and the irregular face markings, then follow the back and paws. Keep stair pieces by tread direction; dark floor sections are easier once the cat outline is complete. Amber patches around the eyes and paws make the tortoiseshell coat easier to rebuild than its dark areas.
