How to draw a cat

Learn how to draw a funny cat drawing of your own.

You will need:
- Pencil
- Pen
- Eraser
- Paper
- Colored pencils or crayons
- Ruler (suggested)


Jeff's Tips & Ideas : Use lightly sketched pencil lines first for the structure. After, use a pen to draw in the final lines. When you're finished, erase the underlying pencil lines to reveal your drawing. Then - color it!

Let's start! Follow step by step our easy indications below !

STEP 1

Draw a simple framework, composed of basic shapes.  Be sure to keep your penciled lines nice and light. Later, you can go over your structure with a dark, permanent pen or marker. The penciled lines will easily erase with a kneaded eraser when you're finished. Note the use of a centerline - to help maintain symmetry as you draw.

STEP 2

Sketch in the front paws as circles, and a couple lines (or triangles) for the ears.

STEP 3

Draw the face.

STEP 4

Continue with the head and ears.

STEP 5

Move on down to draw in the front paws now.

STEP 6

Fill in the body - pretty easy right!?

STEP 7

Hind legs now...

STEP 8

And at last - add the tail!

Colored and all - what a cute little kitten! :-)
