How to Draw a Cat Easy

How to Draw a cat easy? Today we will answer this question. We present to you this drawing guide, which consists of eleven simple steps. It is not at all as difficult as you might think.

We have already shown how to draw a cat earlier. But that lesson was more complicated and contained a lot of details and shadows, which make the drawing process quite difficult for a novice artist.

This tutorial on how to draw a cat easy will be much simpler to learn, and probably even the most inexperienced artist will be able to depict this cute animal without facing any difficulties.

 

Step 1

So, we start a guide on how to draw a cat easy. We’ll start this tutorial by drawing simple geometric shapes. Let’s draw three circles and connect them using smooth lines. As you can see, none of the shapes are symmetrical, so don’t try to draw perfectly straight shapes.

Step 2

So we have a rough sketch of the cat ready and now we can apply finer and sharper details. Draw the contours of the ears and lengthen the shape of the head. Note that the angles give the impression that the ears are very close to each other.

Step 3

In this step, using smooth lines, we will draw the outlines of the back and abdomen of the cat, as well as the proximal parts of the legs. In this step, you should not press hard on the pencil in order to create light lines.

Step 4

In the last step, we drew the upper parts of the front legs, and now we will completely draw the outlines of the front legs. Note that the feet should taper gracefully downward. Avoid overly sharp contractions and expansions.

Step 5

Drawing a cat is not an easy task, isn’t it? But you are doing great! In the previous steps, we drew the outlines of the head, the front part of the torso, and the front legs. In this step, we will focus on the back of the cat’s torso and hind legs. Using smooth, curved lines draw the cat’s paws. Please note that the foot closest to us is larger than all the other paws.

Step 6

Have you ever heard how cats walk? Probably not because there are very soft pads on the cat’s paws. In this step, we will draw in detail the rounded little toes on our cat’s paws.

Step 7

Draw the contours of the tail using smooth lines. As you can see, the tail has the shape of a smooth, curved, tapering shape in the distal direction.

Step 8

In this step, sketch out the inner contours of the auricle to create a natural-looking cat. Let’s also draw the outlines of the cheeks with a fur texture, it looks like several short lines that are close to each other. We will soon complete this tutorial on how to draw a cat easily.

Step 9

The eye and nose will revive our cat a little, won’t it? This is undoubtedly true. Therefore, we will draw the outlines of the eye and nose. The eye is located fairly close to the front edge of the head. And the nose is localized in the very front of the face.

Step 10

Now let’s draw the mouth as a short, smooth, curved line. You can be guided by the location of the eye when drawing the smile line of our cat. If you want to draw a smile or a grin, then draw this line more curved. Also, don’t forget to draw the mustache.

Step 11

At the end of this lesson, we will remove all unnecessary construction lines that helped us in the previous steps. And also we will make the contours of the figure of the cat and parts of the body of the cat clearer by using stronger pressure on the pencil.

You can complete the process of drawing a cat or try to make it even more interesting. For example, you can try adding shadows. We talked about how to do it correctly in our article about light and shadow.

You can also draw some interior or street behind your cat. This will make your cat drawing even more voluminous and expressive.
