How To Draw A Cute Cat with this how-to video and step-by-step drawing instructions. Easy animals to draw for beginners and kids.
Please see the drawing tutorial in the video below
You can refer to the simple step-by-step drawing guide below
Step 1:
draw a circle
Step 2:
add a slightly smaller circle that overlaps the first circle in the bottom quadrant
Step 3:
Draw a third circle that overlaps half of the second circle.
Step 4:
add a vertical line going down the center of the first circle.
Step 5:
Add a horizontal line through the center of the first circle.
Let’s start drawing. You can make this drawing your own by changing the position of the cat’s ears, nose and eyes and by making them as large or small as you like.
Starting with step 6, you can now change to pens or crayons.
Step 6:
draw along the second and third circles to create the belly, shoulders, and hind legs; add a bump to the hind foot.
Step 7:
draw the same line that mirrors the one in step 6.
Step 8:
Start from where the second and third circles meet and draw down right next to the first hindfoot created in step 6 – add the first forefoot. Try to close all lines.
Step 9:
add a second front foot that mirrors the front foot you created in step 8. Try to close all the starting lines and place the front feet side by side.
Step 10:
add a flat swirl-like line for the tail – fit directly to the body so all lines are closed, or add a step 11.
Step 11:
Add a line to connect the bottom of the tail to the cat’s body.
Step 12:
add an arch at the top of the head (first circle). Make it as long as you like and how big you want the ears to be. We have drawn the arch that is 1/4 of the length of the circle.
Step 13:
add the ears (a triangle with a soft border, starting at the end of the arch – from step 12 – and ending at the horizontal line) and the face of the cat’s face (curved slightly when you reach the vertical center line.
Step 14:
add a second ear and cheek that reflects the shape you drew in step 13.
Step 15:
Add a little upside down arch below the curled tail you created in steps 13 and 14. This forms the chin.
Step 16:
Draw an inverted L-shaped curve, slightly off the top of the ear and along the head guide.
Step 17:
Draw a second L-shaped curve, mirroring the line from step 16. This has created detail for the ears.
Step 18:
at the vertical center guide line, draw a double curved line along the top line of the second guide circle – where you want the nose.
Step 19:
delete instructions. You have now completed all your first drawings of a sitting cat. Add some markings on its fur and color it. This is a fun drawing exercise and perfect for any cat lover.
This tutorial on how to draw a cat should only serve as a basic starting point. You can change it up and make it your own in no time. The more you practice, the more you will be able to personalize the drawing. After all, practice only improves your experience.
