STEP-1: Creating our Kitty With Some Basic Shapes
Learning how to draw a cartoon cat is as simple as chasing a ball of
wool! First of all, start by drawing two pointed ears (upside-down 'V'
shapes) and then draw the rest of the head as in the above illustration.
Notice how our drawing already looks like a cat because of these
instantly recognizable features?
STEP-2: Be the Cat's Whiskers by Adding More Detail
Now you've got the basic shape of our cute kitty, let's start adding some
more detail by drawing in the erm tail! This is basically a paddle
shape, but is very important to our furry friend as it helps them balance
and lets you know how they're feeling! Next, draw some large oval
shapes with pointed ends for the eyes and then draw an upside-down
triangle for the nose.

STEP-3: Don't Paws for Thought, Let's Bring our Kitty to Life!
The next stage in learning how to draw a cartoon cat is to add some
more of those all-important feline features. First, let's draw the inner
ears; cats have an awesome sense of hearing and can hear higher-

Now, let's add the rear legs and finish off the paws by drawing two
vertical lines on each for the toes. Did you know some cats have six
toes? These are often referred to as Hemingway cats, due to the famous
author and cat-lover owning one. There, our kitty is almost ready for
that catwalk we just need to choose the purr-fect colors! STEP-6: Coloring in our cartoon cat!
The final stage in learning how to draw a cartoon cat is also the most
fun, adding some kitty color! Cats come in many different colors and
markings, but we've decided to go for blue on this occasion. Draw the
outline in gray, then, after rubbing out any lines you don't need, get
your paws on your favorite blue and color in the body.
Use a black pen for the eyelids, nose and pupils, just remember to leave
a small area white on the pupils to represent highlights. Finally, choose
your greatest green and color in the rest of kitty's eyes! Wow, we now
have a truly fantastic feline who's more than ready for the catwalk.
