1. Draw the Body

Draw an upside-down pear shape for the body, and add the head shape.


2. Add Ears

Sketch two football shapes for the l­egs. Add two rounded triangles for the ears.

Next you'll add the tail to the cat, along with its set of paws.



3. Add a Tail

Draw a curved shape for the tail. Put in short ovals for t­he front paws and curved rectangles for the back paws.

A few final details will give your cat some personality. Learn how to draw a cat's fact on the next page.


4. Draw Eyes, Nose and Toes

Draw ovals for the eyes, and add smaller ones for the pupils. Sketch a triangle for the nose with curved lines underneath it for the mouth.

Put smaller triangles inside the ear shapes. Add curved lines for eyebrows and eyelashes and details on the toes, hair, legs, and whiskers.


5. Trace the Lines

Trace the pencil lines you want to keep with a f­elt-tip pen, and erase any extra lines.

Now your cat drawing is complete and ready to color!
