Afterwards, better define the shape of the head, snout and nose, as well as the legs and toes as follows: Step 5 – Clean up the Drawing Cat outline drawingĬlean up the drawing by erasing the guide lines. For this reason one toe on the right-side leg will not be visible. The pack paws are viewed on an angle as well but the paw on the left is facing more directly towards the viewer while the paw on the right is facing more sideways. Draw the dividers accordingly with smaller division for the far toes. Keep in mind that the front paws in this example are slightly angled so as the toes turn away from the viewer they will become less visible. Next, show the curves of the ears by drawing a pair of lines towards their inner ends that cut into the outline of the head.ĭraw some division lines on the paws to show the individual toes. Step 4 – Add the Pupils, Ear Curves & Toes Cat facial features drawingĪ cats pupils are are close in shape close to ovals. Add another pair of curves to their sides to define the snout and one curve below to define the chin. Draw the mouth with two sets of curves that start slightly below the nose.Define the bridge of the nose with a pair of curved lines that go from the inner ends of the eyes towards it’s tip.Draw the nose rounded corners on the sides and a flat bottom (shaped somewhat like a triangle).Draw the eyes angled slightly downwards with their inner ends.Draw a horizontal line through the head to help you place the cat’s eyes on the same level.Step 3 – Position the Facial Features Cat face drawingĪt this stage of the drawing position the cat’s facial features but leave out their smaller details for a later step. Step – 2 Add the Curves of the Body Cat body drawingĪfter you’ve constructed the cat as described in the previous step add the smaller shapes and curves along the upper part of it’s body. Add the front legs in a way where they curve slightly outwards (about halfway up the body) and then angle a little bit inwards.Outline the paws without any of the small details like the toes.Draw the body shaped like a drop of water.Outline the head with a shape close to an oval.Draw a vertical line to help you see if both side are of even width.Step 1 – Outline the Main Parts of the Cat Cat proportions drawingīegin by outlining the major shapes of the cat’s body without any of the smaller details. It’s recommended that you use a pencil as you will need to do a bit of erasing as you progress through the tutorial.
