How To Draw An Easy Cat
Step 1: Draw Your Head
Add an oval for a head at the top of your paper. Leave room for ears and a body.
Step 2: Add Cat Ears and Eyes
You can make human-like eyes or closed eyes with a simple smile line. Sketch to triangular shapes for ears.
Step 3: Draw A Small Nose and Cat Mouth
We like to say that cats have an “anchor” mouth. You can add other details as well.
Step 4: Add A Body, Paws and Tail
We chose to draw a bell-shaped body first. Then added to paws and a bushy tail.
Step 5: Add Whiskers and Fur
You can add an extra triangle to the ears and add extra fur to the kitten’s face. Also, draw 3 whiskers on each side of the nose.
Optional: Use A Pen Or Marker
Decide on the lines you want to keep in your cat drawing and outline them with a pen or ultra-fine permanent marker.
Below you can find an image with all 6 steps to draw along with.
