Here is an easy step by step tutorial on how to draw a cat!
Cats are so easy and fun to draw. They are a great way to learn how to study animal shapes and draw them. Cat drawings can also be stylized very easily with your own art style.
I have also included other simple ways of drawing cats at the end of this blog post, so feel free to follow along and also try the other drawing methods as well.
I hope you enjoy and above all, have fun!
Step 1: Draw the Top of the Cat’s Head
Draw a slightly rounded line for the top of the cat’s head.

Step 2: Draw the Cat’s Ears
Draw two upside-down V’s for the cat’s ears.

Step 3: Draw the Cat’s Body
Extend a line downwards from each of the cat’s ears. These lines will be the shape of the cat’s body.

Step 4: Draw the Eyes
You can draw your cat’s eyes in different ways depending on the style you like. I just drew two circles with a black ovals inside.

Step 5: Draw the Nose
Draw an tiny upside down triangle for the cat’s nose.

Step 6: Draw the Cat’s Mouth
Draw the cat’s mouth as shown below. Extend a small line downward from the cat’s nose and draw an upside-down v for the cat’s mouth.

Step 7: Draw the Whiskers
Draw the cat’s whiskers by drawing straight lines extending outwards on the cat’s face.

Step 8: Draw the Cat’s Front Legs
Draw 3 straight lines extending downwards at the front of the cat’s body. These lines will create the two front legs of your cat.

Step 9: Draw the Front Paws
Draw your cat’s front paws by drawing two little round curves at the bottom of the legs, as shown below.

Step 10: Draw the Cat’s Back Leg
Draw the cat’s back leg as shown below. The cat’s thigh is going to be rounder in shape and the leg is going to be thinner.

Step 11: Draw the Other Back Leg
Next, we are going to draw the other back leg of your cat. Since this other leg is behind the cat and on the other side, I am not drawing the thigh, just the thin part of the leg extending forward.

Step 12: Draw the Cat’s Tail
For the last step, we are going to draw the cat’s tail. It can be long, short, fluffy, skinny – whatever you like.
