Drawing Cat Full
For the full cat drawing, start by drawing two main shapes, the head (a square square shape) and the body in an almost boxy shape. The shape of the body varies considerably depending on the pose, so this step will vary depending on the drawing.
Then add triangular ears to the top of the head, followed by cylindrical legs that attach to the lower part of the body, you can consider these ice cream sticks because they are similar in shape.
As a final step we add the cat’s face and draw the tail, it’s a tall box with a rounded top, make the box slightly curved and you will get the shape of a cat’s tail. Make sure to grab the free worksheet at the top of this page to help you practice these steps!
Step 1
So let’s start the tutorial on how to draw a sitting cat. Unlike humans, a cat is taller when sitting. Try describing this pose with simple geometric shapes. Draw two identical circles and a large, irregular oval, as shown in our reference.
Step 2
We connect the two figures above using two smooth vertical lines. Then you can add contours of the ears that look like a pair of triangles. Finally, draw the outline of the tail, under the largest shape from the first step.
Step 3
Now let’s draw our cat’s face. Use small, smooth, curved lines for this. Try to avoid putting too much pressure on the pencil during this step.
Step 4
In this step, we will detail the parts of our cat’s face. To form the final eye cut, close the two curves from the previous step. Inside each eye are long, narrow pupils. The cat’s nose looks like a small inverted triangle. There are three circles under the nose.
Step 5
We hope that you didn’t get tired of this tutorial on how to draw a sitting cat. Let’s add contours of the inner parts of the aurora. It looks like a pair of triangles. Also, with the help of scanning short straight lines, we outline our cat’s mustaches.
Step 6
To make our drawing more complete, let’s sketch our cat’s fingers. It looks like small circles. Well, now our cat looks much more cute and realistic doesn’t it?
Step 7
So it’s time to remove all unnecessary construction lines from the previous steps. Without this action, the cat’s body parts would look transparent. We will also make the contours of the body and face clearer and more complete.
Step 8
Any drawing looks much cooler with shadows. Therefore, in this step we will add shadows inside the contour of the eyes, under the nose, on the lower body and above the tail. Don’t forget the highlights located in the contours of the eyes.
Step 9
In this step, we finally eliminated all the mistakes that could have been made during the entire drawing lesson and made the final strokes.
