Instructions
Draw Your Cat
- Draw a circular shape near the top of the page but leave enough room for the ears.
- Draw a large cat body.
- Add triangular shapes for ears.
- Draw large football-shaped eyes in the middle of the face. You can add irises or small crescent shapes to make the drawing more realistic.
- Add a simple “U” shape can work for the nose. An “anchor” mouth and whatever lines they want to use for whiskers.
- Draw two paws and any type of tail.
- Draw a horizon line or table behind the cat.
- Add unique patterns and designs inside the cat drawing.
- Outline your cat with a permanent marker.
Paint The Background
- You can pick any two colors to use. One color for the ground and one color for the sky.
Add Color
- Use a variety of markers to color in your patterns and designs.
- Once the whole cat (except the eyes) has been colored, use a gold or silver paint marker to add extra accents to finish the fun cat design.
Notes
- The only place that you do not want to color is the whites of the eyes (or just say “eyeballs”). If kids color those in, then it is hard to see them due to a lack of contrast with all the patterns going on.
