🖌️ How to Draw a Cat – Step by Step
Step 1: Draw the Cat’s Head
1️⃣ Start by drawing a big circle for the cat’s head.
Step 2: Add the Cat’s Body
1️⃣ Below the head, draw a slightly oval shape for the cat’s body.
2️⃣ The body should be smaller than the head to make it look extra cute!
3️⃣ Keep the lines curved and soft to make the cat look fluffy.
Step 3: Draw the Ears
1️⃣ On top of the circle, add two small triangle ears for a cute look.
Step 4: Sketch the Legs
1️⃣ Draw two small front legs coming down from the body.
2️⃣ On the side of the body, draw a long, curved tail with a fluffy look.
Step 5: Draw the Facial Features
1️⃣ To create a realistic cat, pay attention to the fur texture. Use short strokes to mimic the direction of the fur growth, varying the pressure on your pencil to create depth and dimension.
2️⃣ Inside the head, draw two big round eyes and add a small triangle nose in the middle.
3️⃣ Sketch a simple curved line for the mouth, like a tiny “W.”
Step 6: Draw More Details on Fur
1️⃣ Draw patterns on the cat's fur to get a more realistic cat image.
2️⃣ Sketch red spots on cheeks
3️⃣ At the bottom of the legs, add tiny oval paws with three small lines for the toes.
Step 7: Outline and Color Your Cat
1️⃣ Go over your drawing with a black marker to make the lines bold.
2️⃣ Color the fur gray, orange, white, or even mix colors for a tabby cat! 🐱
3️⃣ Use pink for the nose and ears and blue or green for the eyes.
And that’s it! You now know how to draw a cat step by step! 🎉🐱
