#I'm missing structure and what are the important details I've missed here?

I'm trying to sketch a picture for a short time and understand the concept of this picture. (Gesture and structure mostly)

One of the most important fundamental is the gesture. I think It'll all right for now.
What I don't understand the picture is how I should draw the head in general, limbs, paws and ears.

Guidance lines or 3D structure would really help me.

It's supposed to be a cat, but it looks like a panther somehow

Hope this is helpful,another tip from me,try to sketch it with shapes or circles it helps more than just the guide line.

Can you give a small structure to my picture as well when you have the time? I can then observe later after work :>

You also need to think about the body structure. Not just the head. You need to separate the limbs from the body. Rn its just a giant blob. What id recommend to do is to trace for structure and then try to replicate what you just did. You need to consider that cats have all the parts you do. Knee, hip, ankle, shoulder, elbow, wrist. Everything. Its just proportions and anatomical limitations that makes us different structurally. If you look at the traceovers ive done you can see where each part is. The paws despite what a lot of people think is not the whole foot/hand. the paw is just the fingers/toes and top of the palm/balls of the feet. There are no extra joints. You just need to think about how our body is similar to theirs

I've tried to draw circles. But how do I actually identify each parts shape and then reconnect them together? I can try tracing but I'm not sure which shape to use if every shape feels a bit off for me.
