How To Draw A Halloween Cat
Halloween brings out the craftiest side in us all. It’s the perfect time for creating spooky masterpieces! If you want to amp up your decorations this year, a Halloween cat drawing is the perfect way to do it. From a cute, cuddly tuxedo to a sinister black cat with glowing ghostly eyes, you can make sure your cat drawing looks as purr-fect as possible with just a few tricks.
1. Draw a basic outline of your cat
The best way to start your drawing is by sketching out the basic outline of your feline friend. You’ll need to use a pencil so that your lines are easy to erase. Draw the head, body, legs, and feet as separate shapes. You don’t need to worry about details yet; just make sure your lines look like a cat.
Next, draw the eyes, whiskers, and ears. The ears should be more pointy than regular cats. Make sure to draw two curves on the back of the head to represent a Halloween cat’s signature tuft of fur. Now you’re ready to start adding details!
2. Give your cat some fur
The secret to giving your Halloween cat a realistic look is adding fur. Draw small lines radiating outward from your cat’s face, body, and legs. You can also draw larger swirls to give your cat a long, lush coat. To give your cat a dramatic look, add spikes to its collar and tail.
If your cat is wearing a costume or some other accessory, draw those details on next. You can have your cat wearing a witch’s hat, spider webs, a little cape, or a bat bowtie – your imagination is the limit!
3. Color your cat!
Finally, it’s time to color your cat! If you’re using colored pencils, use light colors for the fur and darker colors for the accessory and details. To make your cat extra spooky, try using ghoulish colors like green, orange, and black. If you want your cat to be more cute than creepy, opt for colors like pink, blue, and purple.
To give your cat a truly unique look, use metallic colors like silver or gold. You can also use a white gel pen to outline the details and give your drawing added dimension.
4. Have fun with your Halloween cat drawing
Now that your Halloween cat drawing is finished, it’s time to have some fun with it! You can make your cat look as scary or as sweet as you want. Give your cat some extra accessories – like a cauldron, broomstick, or pumpkin – to turn your drawing into the ultimate Halloween decoration.
You can also display your finished drawing in your home, or frame it and give it as a Halloween gift. No matter what you do with your Halloween cat drawing, it’s sure to be spook-tacular!
