What You Need To Draw Your Cat :
- Paper, pencil or marker, and eraser
- Our Cat Drawing Guide PDF Worksheet (optional)
- Coloring supplies if you want to color in your drawing (optional)
Start by drawing lightly so that it can be easily erased if there are mistakes, continue by following the arrow step.
Step 1: Draw the Cat’s Body
Start by drawing a big upright oval in the center to form the cat’s body shape. Then, add two straight lines inside the oval for the front legs.
Tip for Kids: Draw the oval lightly with your pencil so you can erase any extra lines later if needed. Don’t worry if it’s not perfect. You will get better with practice!
Step 2: Draw the Head and Ears of your Cat
Draw a big circle for the head on top of the body. Then, add two small triangles at the top of the head for the ears. Make sure the ears are slightly tilted outward for a natural look.
Tip for Kids: Keep the circle slightly larger than the body to make the cat’s head look cute
Step 3: Draw the Cat’s Back Legs, Tail, and Paws
Next, add two smaller ovals on either side of the body for the hind legs. For the tail, draw a long, curved line that extends from one side of the body and curls slightly at the end.
Add tiny ovals at the ends of the front legs for the paws.
Tip for Kids: Make the tail as curvy as you want! A playful tail adds personality to your cat.
Step 4: Draw the Cat’s Face Details
It’s time to give your cat a face! Inside the head, draw:
- Draw Two big circles for the eyes with small circles and ovals inside to make them look shiny and cute.
- Add two tiny curved lines above the eyes for the eyebrows
- Draw a small rounded triangle in the middle for the nose.
- Two curved lines under the nose for a cute smile.
- Add whiskers by drawing two short lines on each side of the face for extra cuteness!
Tip for Kids: This step introduces kids to face details, helping them see how small elements can change the cat’s expression.
Step 5: Color your Cat
Once the drawing is complete, it’s time for some color! Let your child’s creativity shine by letting them choose any color they like. This is the most exciting step! Use crayons, markers, or colored pencils to color your cat.
Tip for Kids: Choose your favorite colors like orange, black, gray, or rainbow! You can also add patterns like stripes, spots, or hearts.
