Cat Colours is also super amazing because the user tries to collect amazing quality reference pictures of almost every single cat color/pattern to exist. I use Pinterest, Google images, Tumblr, and a particular Tumblr blog, Cat Colours ( ), to find good pictures. To the right (Figure 1), I have a screencap of all the references I collected. I like to see WindClan cats as reminiscent of Oriental cats, so a half-Oriental cat Darktail would need the aforementioned references. Before I start to draw, I collect some references for color, general vibe, and anatomy. The time that I started to look at existing pictures of what I wanted to draw and trying to understand WHY things look the way they do absolutely changed my art for the better. When I started drawing in 2012, I almost never used references.
One of the first steps is also what I consider one of the most important steps: reference-gathering.
