Easy Cat Drawing - Meow

This step by step instruction on drawing an easy cat is fun to try. I'm not an artist but I love to doodle.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

Paper
Pencil
Eraser

Step 1

This is The First Step For Drawing A Cat

To start your cat drawing, draw a straight horizontal line about an inch long. On each end of that line, draw a small slanted line about 1/2 inch long, moving upward.
Step 2

Your Cat's Head Is Taking Shape

Draw two straight vertical lines down from the first line. One line from each end.
Step 3

Your Cat's Head is Finished

Make two slanted lines off of each of the last two lines. They should move towards each other making almost a V shape. I try to place a lightly drawn cross where I plan to put the face.
Step 4

Cat's Body and Feet

Just above the V start a circle that ends on the other side of the V. This is your cat's body. Below the body, draw four small circles. These will become the paws.
Step 5

Cat's Legs and Start of the Tail

Above the first line you drew and between the first slanted lines you drew, draw a curvy line. This will become the tail. Now draw some curvy lines connecting the small circles to the body as shown in the picture. These are the cat's legs.
Step 6

Cat Face and Tail

Now using the lightly sketched cross or your own judgment, draw two ovals for the eyes. Draw a light triangle for the nose. A few curved lines coming off he nose makes the mouth. Don't forget a few dots with whiskers coming from above the mouth. At the top of your cat's head, you drew a curvy line. Now draw matching curvy lines on either side of the first curvy line. Connect the curvy lines with a curved line. Now you've finished the tail.
Step 7

You're An Artist!

Now add in your shading and details. This is where your cat really starts to take shape.
