Drawing a Cat Face
Do you want to learn how to draw a purr-fect cat face? Drawing cats has never been easier! With this step-by-step guide, you’ll be a master kitten artist in no time.
Section 1: Create the Basic Shape
Let’s start by sketching an oval shape with two pointed ears at the top. This will be the main shape of your cat face. Try to keep the shape simple and symmetrical.
Next, decide where to place your cat’s eyes. To give it a more realistic look, the eyes should be slightly pointed towards the middle of the oval. Don’t worry too much about placement just yet.
Draw in two small circles for the eyes and the bridge of the nose. Then add a curved line for the mouth and two triangular shapes for the whiskers.
Now that the basic shape is complete, it’s time to add details.
To make your cat’s face look more life-like, draw two solid circles over the eyes and fill them in with black. Then trace around the edges with a gray or light brown color to create a soft halo effect.
Fill in the nose and whiskers with the same color. You can also use a thicker pen or colored pencil to draw stripes on the cats face.
Section 2: Add the Details
Now it’s time to give your cat some extra personality. Start by adding fur around the edges of your drawing. Small, wispy strokes will help create the fluffy look cats have.
Next, draw in the eyes. Use an indelible marker and draw small circles with a sharp point at the top. This will give the eyes a more alert and lively look.
Now, draw in the eyebrows, nose, and whiskers. Make sure to leave enough space between them so each feature stands out.
To make your cat look even cuter, add two small triangles above the eyes. These are known as “cat eyelids” and they help bring your pet’s face alive.
Finally, use eyeliner or another adhesive to draw the cat’s pupils. This will add depth to your drawing and make it look more real.
Section 3: Color
Now it’s time to color your cat. Choose colors that bring out its features and make it more visually appealing.
Start by giving your cat a white coat. Use colors like brown, gray, and black to create the fur patterns. Be sure to add some texture to the fur to make it look more realistic.
Now, choose colors for the cat’s eyes. Green, gray, and blue are the most popular colors for a cat’s eyes. To give the eyes a sparkle, use glitter or other reflective adhesives.
Now it’s time to give your cat some whiskers. Use thin pieces of wire or string and glue them onto the face. This will add an extra layer of realism to your drawing.
Finally, use charcoal or dense ink to create depth in the eyes. This will make your cat look 3-dimensional and give it life.
Section 4: Accessories
Now that your cat’s face is complete, it’s time to accessorize! Start by coloring in the ears with pink, white, or black. This will give them a more realistic look.
Next, draw a collar and tag around the cat’s neck. You can use a black pen to draw loopy circles or design your own shape.
Now, decide if you want to give your cat a tongue. Use a red pen to draw a small triangle or circle. Then, draw two curved lines coming out of the triangle. This will give your cat a mischievous look.
Finally, draw a tiny nose and whiskers. This will bring the whole illustration together and give your cat the look you envisioned.
Section 5: Final Touches
Now it’s time to take your cat to the next level! Start by adding more details to the fur. Use a thin brush to make the fur look more realistic.
Now, color the tongue and tag. You can use pink or orange for the tongue, and silver or gold for the tag.
Finally, use white paint or glitter to give your cat’s eyes a sparkly look. This will help your drawing stand out and look alive.
And that’s it! You’ve now drawn the purr-fect cat face! All you have to do now is show off your new art piece.
