Drawing a cute and cuddly cat is easier than you think – all you need is to follow these simple steps, and you’re sure to have a purr-fectly delightful feline friend to whip out of your sketchbook in no time!
First of all, let’s get your set up ready. Grab some paper, a pencil and some erasers – and don’t forget a few deep breaths. Now that you’re prepped, it’s time to get sketching!
Kids and adults alike will find this an easy and enjoyable activity. Start by drawing an oval – the bigger the oval, the bigger the cat you’re gonna draw – and then draw two circles in the middle of the oval. These circles will be the eyes of the cat. Draw a curved line just below the eyes and draw two triangles on either side of the eyes. These will be the ears of the cat. Add a few curved lines along the sides of the ears to give them more definition. Then draw two curved lines on the lower half of the oval to make the cat’s smile. Draw a few straight lines along the lower part of the oval for the whiskers and draw a curved line at the end of the smile for the nose of the cat.
Now that the basic outline of your feline friend is complete, it’s time to add some details. Choose any color and start adding fur for the cat. Start with the eyes, and make sure you draw curved lines around the eyes to add more definition. Then, draw curved lines from the ears to the sides of the face to create the furry cheeks. Draw small curved lines along the entire body to create the fur. If you want, you can add faint curved lines to the background to make it look more realistic. Lastly, you can draw some stripes or spots on the cat to give it some personality.
Once you’re done with the fur, move on to the paws and tail. Draw two small ovals at the bottom of the cat’s body and a curved line to make the tail. Draw four curved lines on the ovals to make the feet of the cat. For the tail, draw curved lines around the curved line you made earlier. If you want you can make the tail longer or shorter. Finally, draw a curved line from the head of the cat to the tail to make the back of the cat. And voila! You have your own unique version of a kitty cat, ready to be framed or shared with friends online.
Creating your own cat is super easy when you know how – and chances are, if you give it a go, you won’t want to stop! Unleash your creativity and be sure to draw cats in all shapes, sizes, colors and poses. So grab yourself a pencil and paper, and get ready to make a masterpiece!
