How to draw a 3D drawing of a unique cat. How easy it is to draw a kitten with a pencil step by step


Cats are one of the cutest creatures on our planet :) They are loved even if they just lie on the couch all day and do nothing. Today we will figure out how to draw cats for children.

Examples for drawing will be varied, cats for very young children, cats for children about eight years old and cats for older children. Yes, and adults sometimes draw the same cats, because they look beautiful despite the simplicity of the drawing :)

There are a lot of cats in this lesson, so we made two contents for you.

Draw a cat for children 7 years old



This cat can draw 7-8 summer child. It is drawn much easier than our other examples.

Stage 1
Let's start drawing from the head. We draw a head similar to Batman's head :) An oval with ears.

Stage 2
We draw a muzzle simple lines. Closed satisfied eyes, nose and mouth. Also, draw the ears with sharp lines that will indicate the wool.

Stage 3
At the third stage, we draw long antennae and draw the front paws.

Stage 4
Now we draw the second part of the torso. Since it children's drawing cats, then we don’t need perfect proportions. We draw the back, paws and, accordingly, the tail.

Stage 5
We admire the cat that we got :) Color it, for example, in yellow, blue or green :)

Learning to draw a sitting cat



This example is suitable for a child of 8 years. He, for sure, will cope with such a tiger :)
In this example, our caudate will have an unusual color, it will be a cat tiger!

Stage 1
At the first stage, we will analyze two simple steps at once :)
First, draw an oval. Have you drawn? Excellent! Now, at the bottom of the oval, you need to draw the face of our cat.

Stage 2
We draw the ears and make a stroke inside them with sharp lines. As mentioned earlier, we are drawing a tiger cat :) Therefore, in three different sides muzzles need to be drawn in three lines.

On the left and right sides, the lines will be the same, but on the upper side, the lines are slightly longer.

Stage 3
In the second step, we have finished drawing the head and now we begin to draw the body of our sitting tiger. Draw the chest, front paw and back.

Stage 4
Now we draw the second front paw, some part of this paw is blocked by the first paw, since it is closer to us.

We draw the hind leg. The hind leg is much more difficult to draw than it looks, so don't press too hard on the pencil. You may have to erase a not very beautiful foot and redraw it.

Stage 5
At the fifth stage, we draw stripes on the paws and thicker stripes on the back. We draw a tail and make stripes on it.

stage 6
Coloring:3

It is not necessary to draw it like a tiger, if you erase all the stripes and choose a different color, you will get a regular cat, not a tiger.

An example of drawing a cat for a child of 9 years old


At first glance, this cat seems very complex and it may seem that it will be difficult for a child to draw it, but this is not at all the case. Thanks to step by step examples you will understand that drawing her is very simple. Let's get started!

Stage 1
As you can see in the picture above, our cat is in such a position that her front legs are standing, but at the same time she is sitting on her hind legs. That is why her figure turns out to be elongated and that is why we draw three circles that are connected by lines.

The topmost circle must be divided as shown in the figure. This is necessary for the future muzzle. Do not press too hard on the pencil, because most of the lines are auxiliary and will be erased.

Stage 2
At the second stage, we draw the ears, draw the muzzle. We connect two circles with two lines to make a neck. Also, we make sketches of the tail and left paw of the cat.

Stage 3
The third one is the most difficult stage. Here we draw the paws and tail. It is difficult to describe how to draw paws and a tail correctly, so just look at the picture below and try to draw something similar.

We draw a muzzle and connect the lower part of the body and the upper part with lines.

Stage 4
The easiest and most enjoyable stage :) We draw the antennae and stripes on the paws.

Stage 5
On the last step erase all our auxiliary lines and our kitty is ready.

If you want, you can paint it in your favorite color;)

Draw a sleeping cat


How to draw a sleeping cat for kids? Very simple! It is drawn in just 6 stages and a child of about 9 years old can complete them. Let's start!

Stage 1
In the first step of our second cat in the cat drawing lesson for kids, we draw a circle :) This will be the head of the cat. Then we divide the circle in half vertically and slightly below the center horizontally.

Stage 2
We detail our circle. We draw eyes, a nose and a mouth. In our example, the eyes are closed in pleasure:3 But you can draw them open, although if you remember that we are drawing a sleeping cat, then open eyes would be inappropriate here.

Stage 3
We draw a muzzle. Try to draw it symmetrical, and draw ruffled fur on top in the center.

Stage 4
Now one of the most difficult stages, but you will definitely do it!

You need to draw a smooth line of the torso, which will imperceptibly flow into the tail. The line must necessarily rise above the head of our cat, and then gradually become lower and turn into a tail.

Stage 5
We finalize finishing touches. We draw one front paw, it will be a little visible behind the tail. We draw a mustache, the tip of the tail and in some places the folds.

stage 6
We erase the auxiliary lines and, if desired, color the sleeping cat.

How to draw a cute cat for kids?


This cat is not the easiest cat for a child to draw, and it doesn't really look like a cat, but this creature is very cute. This cat is a bit like an anime cat, huge eyes and an unusual body shape.

Stage 1
We draw a circle, divide it in the center vertically and just below the center vertically. Under this circle draw an oval, a little smaller in size.

Stage 2
The second stage is more difficult than the first, you need to detail the head. We draw the ears and outline a large circle with lines from which the head will turn out.

Stage 3
We draw huge eyes! How more eyes, the cuter the cat will turn out:3 We draw eyebrows and a mouth. In our example, we did not draw the nose, but if you really want to draw it, then of course you can do it.

Stage 4
The fourth is not a very difficult stage. We draw two front paws, try to draw them not very thin, because we will have a plump cat.

Stage 5
We draw the body of the cat a little wider than the oval outlined earlier and draw the tail.

stage 6
Well, at the last stage, we erase all the auxiliary lines and, if desired, color our cute cat.

Hi all! In this tutorial I will show you step by step with a pencil and then color it with colored pencils. We will draw a Maine Coon cat.

If this is your first time on a blog site, then a lesson from the drawing course with colored pencils ““ will be useful to you.

You will need:

  • a blank sheet of paper (it is better to use not White color, but sandy);
  • simple HB pencil;
  • eraser;
  • colour pencils.

Step 1. To draw a cat, you first need to sketch out the basic proportions on clean slate paper. Divide by simple figures the body and head of the cat, mark the paws and tail with ovals, and the ears with triangles. Also highlight the rounded neck and the central line of the muzzle, outline the main features of the face. Now you need to check the proportions, make sure that the turned head is located correctly. Step 2 Now we need to work out the details. Erase the extra lines with an eraser. Now draw some short lines on the face to indicate the direction of the hair growth. Then add lines around the eyes and continue them all the way to the nose. Draw the pupils, they will look like the shape of an American football. Mark the whiskers, white areas on the front legs and the texture of the coat on the whole body.
Step 3 Using a dark gray color, shade the whites of the eyes and pupils. Then, using short lines and varying pressure from medium to hard, create dark areas on the head and body, following the direction of hair growth. Please note that the hair on the tail is longer than anywhere else, so the strokes should be longer.
Step 4 Now apply dark pink color to the nose and paw pads. Then add a light layer of dark brown to the head and torso areas. Emerald green paint over the irises of the eyes. Fill the pupils with black, leaving white reflections on each of them.
Step 5 We continue to color cat. Apply some jasmine color to some parts of the body, ears, nose and around the mouth. Then - French gray on the muzzle and body areas, using short lines and following the direction of hair growth. Using medium pressure, add a layer of chartreuse to the iris, then apply black to the sides of the nose and mouth. Next I apply the henna color to the paw pads and use short lines dark gray to highlight the fur on the paws. Then use medium pressure to apply cool gray to the underside of the chin, belly and paws, marking the shadows. On the paws, I make a stronger pressure. Apply a layer of burnt amber in short lines over jasmine on the head and body to deepen the color. Add long strokes of burnt ocher and French gray to the tail, and some French gray to the fur inside the ears.

Draw cat eyes

The shape of the cat's pupil changes depending on the lighting. For example, in the dark, the pupils become larger and take on a more rounded shape, as in the example below, while in daylight hours pupils may look like tiny vertical slits. When you draw a cat or a cat from the front, make sure that the pupils are directed straight ahead. Also keep in mind that the whites of a cat's eyes are much less visible than a human's, as the cat's pupil occupies a much larger area.

Step 6 Apply cool gray to sides neck, making sure that the mustache is not painted over; then apply the same color all over the body to darken the fur. Add little blue specks to the pupil reflexes, and then blend it into the white. Next, apply bright yellow over the chartreuse on the iris, making the eyes more expressive. Shade the sternum and neck areas, and the mustache with a cold light gray, they stand out more. Apply the same color to the lower abdomen.

After that, look at the drawing from a distance to determine what other areas need more color. For more contrast, add some more burnt ocher to the same areas, and black to the dark areas of the coat. Then use a hard brush to blend and soften the colors. Do this very carefully, as overdoing it can smear the entire drawing. Eyes should not be shaded, it is better to leave them clean and luminous.

Here we have such a beautiful Maine Coon cat. Drop your work in the comments or share them in

If you have a cat at home, you probably know that a cat is different from a cat. And she is shorter in height and her muzzle is "neater", and not such a "brazen" look as a cat's. I already have a cat drawing lesson, but I decided to make another lesson dedicated to cats.
Let's try together draw a cat step by step with a simple pencil. At the last step, you need to color the cat drawing with colored pencils or paints. You can copy the coloring from the drawing of "my" cat made on the tablet, or you can color the last step of the drawing as you wish, so that the picture looks like your favorite cat.
If you fail to draw beautifully on your own, you can print (see point 7) specially prepared and enlarged pictures of a cat.

1. Simple contours of the shape of the torso and head

To make it easier for you draw a cat, you need to first make simple, but important contours. They will help you in the future to maintain the proportions of the picture. Draw freeform two intersecting circles for the torso and a slightly higher circle for the head. Please note that the contour of the head is narrowed down. The muzzle of a cat is usually slightly elongated, while in a cat it is often round, like a saucer. Be sure to draw three small circles at the bottom for the cat's paws and two circles at the top of the torso.

2. We continue to draw the initial contours

It is important to draw exactly the first step, in the future it will only be necessary to add simple details to these contours, and then, removing them with an eraser, we get beautiful drawing cats. First of all, draw the vertical lines of the cat's legs. It's not difficult at all, just note that they start from the neck. It is also easy to draw two tail lines and triangular ears on the head.

3. Remove extra contour lines from the cat drawing

And now you can remove the extra contour lines from the picture, and look at our cat, we got a real picture of a cat. It remains only to draw the details of the muzzle and torso. You see how easy we managed to draw a cat using the simplest contours.

4. Drawing detail

This step is very easy, look at my drawing of a cat and add the necessary strokes. Don't forget to only draw the eyes in detail and the claws on the paws.

5. Finish drawing the cat

If you decide to draw with a simple pencil, then you can use "my" coloring of the cat, using the simple pencil technique. But the picture will look much more beautiful if the cat is colored with colored pencils, of course, provided that your cat has a colorful, variegated color, and not pure white or black.

6. Drawing a cat on a graphics tablet

If you decide to draw a cat first with a simple pencil, and then color it with paints or colored pencils, you can use the coloring of this cat drawing, made by me on a graphics tablet.


Children love to draw animals, but most often the beloved cat becomes the object of drawings. Learn to draw a cat and you will be able to draw many other animals correctly such as tiger, leopard, cheetah and other felines.


The drawing of a rabbit is somewhat reminiscent of cat drawing. And if you can draw a cat correctly, drawing a rabbit will not be too difficult for you.


Drawing a cat "from life" is quite difficult, because it will not pose for you for too long, especially a frisky kitten. At best, you can only draw a couple of ears, so it's better to draw a cat from a photograph.


The lion also belongs to the cat family, the same structure and proportions of the body, only the mane distinguishes the lion from other cats. There is one more difference. Lions live in a pride (families), and the cat "walks by itself."


Perhaps the tiger is most similar to a cat. The same proportions of the body, head. There are individual individuals of cats that look very similar to a tiger, only not a single cat has a tiger color.

Hello, friends! Today I would like to tell you (and show !!!) about how to draw beautiful cat pencil! We already once showed (and told!!!) in one of our posts a step-by-step drawing of a kitten (well, or a cat, as you wish), but that was a long time ago. And if we take into account the number of search queries on this topic (let's say in secret, it exceeds the mark in10000 once a month!!!) , then we think you will understand why we made the second lesson on this topic. By the way, here is our previous lesson for you.How to draw a kitten.By the way, it was generally the very first step-by-step drawing lesson that we posted on the network :)

Actually, we will not say anything new about your preparation for the lesson. The main thing is to start! The rest will come, as they say, in the course of the play! Of course, don't forget to turn on some inspiring music, and then you're definitely good to go! Click on the picture and start drawing! Good luck, you will succeed :)

AAAAA, stop! I completely forgot to tell! We have launched a contest "Positive to the masses"! The winner of the contest will have the opportunity to order ABSOLUTELY FREE of charge for the production of any picture. The conditions are very simple: you post positive photos, get your share of positive and gifts! Read more about the conditions in our meeting created specifically for the competition. By the way, if you are still not in social network VKontakte, then register immediately! At least in order to participate in the competition or read our interesting creative findings in the group ART EVERY DAY. We are waiting for you:)

Cats are very beautiful and graceful pets that children adore. And little artists often ask mom or dad to draw their favorite pet on paper. And even if adults themselves do not have the talent of a painter, phased drawing will come to the rescue. Relying on serial circuits, even a five-year-old kid can create an image of an adult cat or a little mischievous kitten in the picture. At school age, children should be offered more intricate options, for example, the image of realistic cats and popular cartoon characters.

Age features of drawing a cat

It is advisable to teach a child to draw a cat from the age of five: it is at this age that the baby is already able to create a more or less believable image, so do not rush things.

Before proceeding to creative process, it is advisable to consolidate the knowledge of basic geometric shapes with your son or daughter (this will be needed in the process of work) and teach them how to depict them correctly. These are a circle and an oval, a triangle, a square and a rectangle.

To draw an animal well, the kid must be able to correctly depict geometric shapes.

Be sure to consider a live cat with a novice artist (as an option, a ceramic figurine or a realistic soft toy is suitable). At the same time, an adult focuses on the proportionality of the body, the ratio of the size of the head and torso, the location of the eyes, ears on the muzzle, etc.

If there is no home real cat, then you can consider with the child a realistic soft toy

Because the children preschool age do not yet understand proportions very well, drawing can be started with cartoon cats. They often have a disproportionately large head, cheerful coloration, funny expression muzzles (smile, wide eyes, protruding tongue), dressed up in bows and other accessories.

Cartoon cats are distinguished by irregular proportions, cheerful coloring, a smile and other features.

FROM junior schoolchildren you can already start drawing realistic cats. Children already understand that the animal's head cannot be too big or small, the tail must be long (practically full-length). An adult should look at photographs of cats in various poses with a child: lying, sleeping, sitting, jumping. At the same time, attention is drawn to how the animal arches, how it folds its paws and tail.

The adult first discusses with the student in what position the cat can be drawn

The images of cartoon animals become more intricate: the adult teaches the child to give the cat a mood: surprise (wide-open mouth), sadness (corners of the mouth beveled down), thoughtfulness (pupils shifted to the side), fear (wide-open eyes). There are a lot of options here, because children's imagination knows no bounds.

Choice of tools and materials

Since a cat can be drawn in various techniques, then to work little artist need various materials. These are colored pencils wax crayons, felt-tip pens (many children love to trace the outline and emphasize details) gouache (since drawing a cat in watercolor already requires higher skill). In any case, you will need a sharply sharpened simple pencil and an eraser (to correct defects and erase auxiliary lines).

Prepare as a basis white paper A4 format or colored cardboard (if the baby draws with gouache).

How to draw a cat step by step with a pencil

Introduction to animalistic genre painting should start with simple circuits drawing animals. One of these options is a cat from circles. An adult shows a child a funny picture where the body of an animal for the most part consists of round shapes (there are also triangles - ears and nose).

The cat in the picture has a round body, head and cheeks, the rest of the details complement them.

Then follows the image process according to the scheme. For example, to depict a sleeping cat, you need to draw a large circle, inside it - a small one (in the lower part, in contact with the large one, the ratio is approximately 1:2). Further, the image is complemented by ears, nose, eyes closed and animal whiskers. The image is completed by a long tail enveloping the body of the animal. It remains only to decorate the animal to your liking.

The circles in the drawing are the main parts of the cat's body, which are simply complemented by the necessary details.

When the child has mastered drawing round cartoon cats, you can move on to the next stage of mastery - a realistic image of an animal, for example, sitting. First, the head of the cat is indicated in the form of an oval. The oval will also be the basis of the body shape. Here it is necessary to observe proportions: vertically, the oval slightly exceeds the length of the twice taken oval of the head, and horizontally, the width of the body is slightly less than the twice taken oval of the head. In this case, the head and torso slightly overlap each other. The next stage is drawing the ears, front and hind legs of the animal.

At the first stage, the main parts of the animal's body are schematically indicated in the form of ovals, paws and ears are added

Then, with the help of auxiliary lines, the child depicts the face of a cat: nose, mouth, eyes and whiskers.

Eyes, nose, mouth and mustache are depicted with opra on auxiliary lines.

Auxiliary lines are combined into the final drawing, which remains only to be colored.

At the last stage, the cat is painted

Drawing a lying kitten is also not a very difficult task. Again, the head and torso are indicated by ovals, and then the muzzle, ears, paws and a beautiful tail are drawn. In this case, the head can be placed in profile and full face (this is not reflected in its shape). The child needs to be explained that in the first case only one eye is drawn (the second one is not visible).

The lying kitten is also drawn on the basis of ovals.

A kitten from semicircles turns out to be very funny The character of the cat is conveyed by the eyes The most crucial stage is drawing the muzzle Due to the observance of proportions, the cat turns out to be very realistic This kitten resembles the cartoon character Smeshariki The body of the cat is made up of circles different size The body of a cat is made up of ovals Drawing a cat begins with a heart The shape of a cat is the most elementary, the task is to color it beautifully A cartoon cat is drawn very simply The body of an animal consists of circles, an oval and rectangles

We draw a muzzle

After the child learns to portray cats in different poses, you should dwell in more detail on the drawing of the muzzle (full face, profile and in a three-quarter turn).

  1. First, an auxiliary shape is drawn - a circle, auxiliary lines are outlined (vertical and two horizontal). Large slanting eyes are depicted and necessarily hairs above them - this will make the cat's portrait more charming. The nose can be made like a heart. At the bottom of the circle there will be cheeks in the form of semicircles.

    Auxiliary lines will help to make the muzzle proportional

  2. To make the cat more cute, you should shade the corners of the eyes. After that, the head is drawn to the desired shape: it expands on the sides of the circle. Ears are added.

    The muzzle increases in width, and ears appear

  3. For maximum realism, it remains to shade the ears, sketch out the lines of the neck and draw the mustache. A cat has twelve hairs on each side (although this is not important in the figure).

    An indispensable attribute of any cat is a long mustache.

  4. A cat's face can also be drawn based on a square. We draw a figure and divide it into four equal parts.

    Square - the basis of the muzzle

  5. Focusing on the grid, proportionally represent the ears, eyes, mouth, cheeks and nose.

    The grid allows you to maintain all proportions

  6. We erase the auxiliary lines.

    We remove the auxiliary lines, and the muzzle becomes alive

  7. And now let's give freedom to imagination: paint the cat in natural shades or create an unexpected fantastic image.

    Why not color with a fantasy pattern

Photo gallery: schemes for drawing a cat's face

The muzzle is drawn on the basis of a circle and auxiliary lines The eyes, nose and mouth are drawn in random order, without auxiliary lines Using the eyes and mouth, you can give the cat a certain character The image is made up of segments, which are then smoothed into smooth lines

Draw an anime cat

Anime is a popular Japanese animation. This is not just an animation, but a special perception of life, a cultural layer with its own unique symbols and types.

children different ages I like playful and charming anime cats. These are fantasy images with huge expressive eyes. The head is often larger than the body. Of course, the child with great enthusiasm will take up the image of this cute animal.

Anime cats are charming and playful, their indispensable attribute is huge expressive eyes

You can offer a young animal artist the following algorithm:

  1. First, the body of a sitting cat is depicted: a large head with ears, a torso (teardrop-shaped oval), paws in the form of ovals and circles, and a neat tail.

    The head is almost the same size as the body.

  2. The most responsible occupation is the drawing of the muzzle. This will require auxiliary lines. We depict huge eyes (the size of the ears, while designating the pupils and sparks in the eyes) and a wide-open mouth. At this stage, we also add a mustache, a drawing of ears and fingers on the paws.

    It is the muzzle that gives the anime cat a unique playful character.

  3. At the end of the work, we erase the auxiliary lines and color the kitten to our liking.

    You can color the anime kitten as you wish

A simple scheme for drawing - an almost symmetrical figure At the heart of the drawing - circles and ovals The highlight of the image - a tousled forelock and cheeks

Drawing Angela

The game for tablets and smartphones is popular among modern children. talking cats- Tom and Angela. Cute fluffy kitty with anthropomorphic features (in beautiful dress) may well become an object for drawing. Distinctive feature her huge slanted eyes.

Children love to draw characters from their favorite cartoons and games.

The child can portray Angela in full height in one position or another, or draw her portrait. Let's take a closer look at the last option.

  1. First, draw a circle with guide lines. Let's transform it into a cat's muzzle, slightly pointed downwards.

    Angela's muzzle is slightly pointed down

  2. We depict neat (also pointed ears) and outline the eyes, nose and mouth.

    Making the eyes very big

  3. And now we draw in detail the eyelids, pupils and iris of the eyes. We make the nose and mouth more expressive. Don't forget the flirty mustache. We designate the neck and shoulders.

    Draw in detail the eyes, nose and mouth

gouache painting

To draw a fluffy beauty, it is quite possible to use gouache. This material is suitable even young artists: the paint does not need to be diluted with water (like watercolor), but simply dip it with a brush. The compositions are saturated, the color is perfectly visible even on colored paper. Working with gouache, it is easy to correct any mistake. In addition, the paint dries quickly, one color can be painted on top of another, and they do not mix.

Using gouache, you can get an interesting color of cat hair - for example, a mixture of shades of gray, pink and orange.

The adult reminds the child that it is better to use a thick brush to draw the silhouette of an animal, and a thinner brush to draw details.

  1. Younger students can be offered to portray a charming cat in the grass with gouache. First, with a simple pencil, a simple silhouette of the animal is outlined at the bottom of the sheet (it is located vertically). Then we draw a muzzle.

    At the bottom of the sheet, we outline the silhouette of a cat, draw a muzzle

  2. With wide strokes we draw a background - grass and sky. We color the cat itself in gray.

    To paint large areas use a thick brush

  3. We paint the eyes and make out the fur with a dry brush: use different shades gray (mix it with black and white paint). When drawing a muzzle, we use the poke method with a wet brush.

    When drawing fur, we use different shades of gray

  4. With white gouache we draw a mustache and finally correct the cat. Next, we finalize the background: we depict a forest in the distance and grass in the foreground. Composition completed.
