Step-by-Step Guide on How to Draw a Cat

Step 1:

Let us start by making a circle for the head of the cat.

Step 2:

Once the face is done, make an oval shape for the body. Let this oval shape intersect with the circle you made in step 1.

Step 3:

Now, let us draw the ears and eye of the cat. Make small triangle shapes on the head. This will be your ears. Make two circles for the eyes.

Step 4:

Time to draw the cat’s mouth. Draw a small inverted triangle in the middle of the circle to make the cat’s nose. Draw two small curves below the triangle. Join the curves to the tip of the triangle. With this, we complete the mouth of the cat.

Draw whiskers on either side of the nose.

Step 5:

Draw two long u-shaped legs in the front. They will be the front legs of the cat. Small small lines at the bottom to make the claws.

Step 6:

Draw two small hind legs. And make lines for the claws.
