Simple Cat Drawing

Step 1: Outline the Head

Let's start out by outlining the head of the cat with an oval shape.

Step 2: Attach the Ears

Attach two triangle shapes on each side of the head to form the ears of the cat.

Step 3: Form the Face

Let's give our cat an adorable face by drawing two circles for the eyes. Then, add a rounded triangle for a nose. Attach two curved lines to the nose to form the cat's mouth. Finally, let's draw lines on both sides of the head to give our cat some whiskers.

Step 4: Draw the Body and Tail

Form an elongated shape to create the body. Next, add a long narrow shape to form the tail.

Step 5: Add the Legs

Let's add legs to our cat by adding four shapes attached to the body similar to the illustration shown.

Step 6: Complete the Simple Cat Drawing

Let's complete our simple cat drawing by adding some color! First, let us shade the eyes with a yellow crayon. Remember to use a black crayon to add pupils. Then, use a white crayon to add some sparkle to our cat's eyes. Let's move on to the inner ears and nose of the cat by coloring it in with a black crayon. Next, use a white crayon to shade the paws, snout, and underbelly. Finish off the simple cat drawing by using a gray crayon to fill in the rest of the body. Don't forget to add patterns to the fur using a dark gray crayon.

Your Turn!

Let's add some toys for the cat to play with! A ball of yarn would be perfect for our adorable little friend.
