Learn how to draw manga, how to draw cars and how to draw anime from our guides
It’s been a while since our last drawing guide, but now we’re back, and today we’ll learn together how to draw a cat. We’re going to focus more on cartoon cats, but drawing a real cat should be somehow similar.
We’re going to have a step by step guide first, and then a couple of videos, some for beginners and some for the more advanced drawers. So, in the end all these should help you draw a cat as you want it.
Now, there’s nothing much to say before we’ll move one, so let’s just get drawing that cat.
The step by step guide
First, you start by drawing a guideline like in the picture above: an oval and a cross over it. That will help you draw first the shape of the head and then the face elements. But before drawing those elements, you should place you cat’s years. Then, wotk on the mouth, tiny nose and eyes.
You should get something like in the first picture above. Now it’s time to continue with the body. Draw an oval just under the head and continue it with a carrot shaped sketch like above. Now, you’ll also have to draw the unseen parts of the body. As you can see in the third picture from the ones above, it’s that peared shaped thingy.
Now, with the help of those guides, draw the legs of your cat, and don’t forget about the tail… Finally, you just have to color your drawing.
You should get something like the last cat in the picture above. If you didn’t, just keep trying. And that’s about it with our step by step how to draw a cat guide (with pictures coming from here)
And now, let’s take a look at a couple of videos.
This first one teaches you how to draw a cat on your computer, with the help of Photoshop.
And this second one shows you how to draw a cat on paper, the plain classic method 😛 But it’s meant for small kids only.
And … that’s about it. Hopefully this was helpful for you and you learned something about drawing cats. Just keep practicing and you’ll get better at it.

great guide thank you for this i love cats and hopefully soon will be able to draw them
This is a good cartoon!!! But not what i’m looking for. I want a realistic cat. 🙁
i’m writing a story and wanted to put some pictures on the cover. i was wondering… can you show me how to draw an angry cat, a sleeping cat (with some stripes, and colour), and a cat standing up on his hind legs in a suit of any kind. please tell me if this is at all possible. thanks!
I think it was not that great, but its a good guide for little kids. But not for me because im 12.
Umm..I’m 13 and could not figure out how to do this..I got frustrated and I think it’ll be even worse for younger children.
Cool! It works great!
