Steps For Drawing A Cat

STart by drawing the two ears of the cat. Make one more pointy while the other more curved and shape. Between these two ears, draw a curved line for the top of the head to connect these two lines.

Step 2

On either side of the ears, draw two curved lines to create the shape of the face. Leave the center of the face open.

Then draw two short lines on the side of that. Head over to the middle of the face and draw the two eyes. Don’t forget to add a dot for the inside.

Then leave a space and in the middle draw a V shape for the nose. Add a short vertical line and joined to that an upside-down V shape for the mouth.

Finally, add a few curved lines to show the whiskers.

Head back to the other side and draw a short line at an angle.
