Cats are popular not only among children, but also among adults, as evidenced by funny videos on YouTube and pictures of cats on social networks. Cats are also considered a symbol of grace and femininity. We can talk about cats for a long time, but we will show you several ways on how to draw a cat.
This article will have three sections with at different levels Difficulty: medium, difficult and for children.
What you will need:
- Sheet A4 or A5
- Pencils with hardness 2H and B or 3B, 4B, 5B, 6B

Medium difficulty level
Let's try to start with drawing a cat.
Take a pencil with hardness H and draw semicircles and dashes exactly the same as in the picture.
The first, upper circle is the head. Let's draw a “structure” for the nose there, mark the place where the ears should be and draw a line for the back.
Draw the lower part (the outline of the bend of the paws) as in the picture.
We continue to finish drawing the ears and muzzle, the lower part of the legs and the approximate location of the tail.
We finish drawing the ears, tail and paws.
Now, in the place where the curved line was drawn on the muzzle, above the nose, draw narrowed eyes. This is quite easy to do, just like in the picture. Wipe away the excess details, draw a nose, under it smooth lines of a closed mouth and antennae. The drawing is ready!
Considering how to draw a cat step by step, we offer the following method. Here you will already need soft pencil(from V to 6V).
First, we draw an oval, it can have a rough, more square shape, as in the picture. And divide it with a light vertical line into equal parts.
Next, draw two oblique stripes on top of this oval - this will be the place for the ears. Below we will draw a line so that we know at what level to draw the eyes and draw the torso (preferably the same shape as in the picture).
Now we draw the cat’s ears, make two lines from the nose to the eyes, draw a mouth in the form of an inverted number 3 or simply in the form of a semicircle. We mark the paws.
Draw circled eyes and the approximate shape of the tail.
And finally, we finish drawing the paws, shade the eyes, draw the rest of the details of the face, don’t forget about the mustache. And use short strokes to outline the shape of the cat to create the impression of fluffiness. Ready!
Difficult level
And now we want to show a more complex technique on how to draw a kitten. This is not only for those who are making great progress in drawing, it is also important for those who want to try their hand and be proud of the result! Here's our cat.
So, let's start with the fact that you need to draw the approximate outlines and pose of the kitten. To do this, use a pencil with a hardness of 2H or N. Try to follow the example of the picture.
Now draw two parallel lines on the cat’s face so that you can evenly draw his eyes. Mark the approximate outline of the eyes, draw stripes that go from the eyes to the nose, draw a mouth (such as in the example), a place for the antennae (an inverted number 8 above the mouth), mark the ears more precisely.
The next step is to draw the pupils in the eyes, make the nose more detailed, draw the teeth and tongue inside the mouth, and don’t forget to draw the paws.
We draw a cat with a pencil - and this is one of the best ways convey the wool in detail. On the face, with short strokes we indicate areas of dark coat color.
Now let’s shade out the darkest elements of the cat’s face with a pencil with a hardness of B to 6B: the pupils (don’t forget to leave highlights in them, so they will seem more realistic), the outline of the eyes, the nose, the points of the whiskers, the mouth.
Now we shade all the dark areas of fur on the muzzle with the same pencil.
We continue to draw dark areas of fur throughout the body, do not forget about the shadow under the paws.
Having finished with the dark stripes on the fur, we work on the light areas with an H or 2H pencil. Shading. After you've finished shading the fur, don't forget to draw the cat's whiskers. It is advisable to do this with a well-sharpened pencil with a hardness of B to 6B. You can add small “tassels” on the ears, but don’t overdo it. The cat is ready!

Now we draw ears, a tail and add a tick above the paws so that the cat has a fluffy neck in the end.
We draw the eyes with dots, the nose - a triangle, the mouth - an inverted number 3. We draw a mustache, a little more fur on the neck. We remove the extra lines on the paws and draw the fingers. The cat is ready!
Let's consider another option, how we draw a cat step by step for children.
We will draw the cat from the front and back. Draw ovals on each other (try to follow the example in the picture).
We draw short legs, ears and a tail. Note: the second one, sitting with his back, cannot see his upper legs, as if he is leaning on them, but you can finish drawing them yourself.
Now we draw the eyes as two commas, the nose as a triangle, the mouth as an inverted number 3 with a tongue. Don't forget about the whiskers and stripes, our cat is tabby. 🙂
And one more option for you:
Draw a circle and an oval. They are connected by a curved line. The second line, which is larger, is the “skeleton” of the tail. On the muzzle we draw two parallel lines in order to draw the eyes evenly.
We draw ears and fur on the sides of the head.
In the ears we draw two inverted ticks, we draw eyebrows and eyes. On the sides of the small line connecting the body to the head, we draw two more curved lines to make our neck thicker.
We finish drawing the muzzle, removing the extra lines on the sides of the head. On the chest we draw fur, and below – the paws.
We finish drawing the hind and front legs, turning the line into a tail.
