How to Draw a Cute Cat

We read your comments very carefully. We found out that you love to draw with a cat and therefore we have created this guide on how to draw a cute cat.

 

 

Step 1

So first let’s draw the shape of our cat’s head. To do this, depict a large oval in the center of the sheet. Also, it is very important for us to make the markup of this cat’s face. So we, draw one straight horizontal line in the center of the oval and shift the vertical line to the left.

This is the most important part of the tutorial on how to draw a cute cat.

Step 2

So we have created a sketch of the cat’s head.  It means that we can add other details. First, we will draw the ears of a triangular shape. Note that the right ear will be slightly larger than the left. Then sketch out the eyes in small circles. At the end of this step, add two short lines on a vertical arc.

Step 3

So, we continue the drawing instruction on how to draw a cute cat. All cats have large and expressive eyes, and we will pay special attention to drawing the eyes. In this step, we will draw the pupils that are located inside the outlines of the eyes. Be especially careful because the position and shape of the pupils will shape the direction and expression of the gaze.

Step 4

It’s time to draw our cute cat’s nose. For this, you can use auxiliary lines from previous steps. Note that the cat’s nose will be positioned between the two strokes in a vertical arc. Try to depict the nose not exactly in the center of the vertical line, but move it slightly to the left.

Step 5

So, we continue to draw the details of the cute cat’s face and now we depict the upper and lower lips of the cat. We focus on the vertical line and draw horizontal lines with smooth curves. At the end of this step, we will draw a long mustache using clear, straight lines of different lengths.

Step 6

Now we need to create a complete shape of the cute cat ears. So, we connect the auxiliary lines with the oval of the cat’s head. And with the help of a few smooth lines, we give the outline of the inner part of the ears. It may seem to you that this is an insignificant step, but it is very important to make it correctly for a more natural image of the cat.

Step 7

We have done a great job and are getting close to completing this tutorial on drawing a cute cat. Now we need to remove all construction lines from the cat drawing. With long strokes, you can sharpen and complete the head shape. And with similar strokes, we will create the effect of soft wool.

Step 8

Now we can work with shadows to make the cute cat drawing more voluminous. You can first outline the areas that need to be shaded and then hatch. Particularly intense shading should be located inside the pupil. By the way, don’t forget to leave white highlights as in our sample.

Step 9

If you followed the correct sequence of steps, you should get something like the cute cat drawing, created by the artists of Drawingforall.net. You can correct small mistakes and add details that you create in your imagination.
