How to Draw a Cat in 7 Easy Steps
1) Draw the eyes
2) Draw the nose and mouth
3) Draw the hair round the face
Use the nose as a central point and draw lines coming out from it all the way round, being careful not to draw them through the eyes
4) Draw the ears
5) Draw an oval shape to form the outline of the body
6) Fill in the body shape with long lines and add the tail
7) Add the legs and you're done!
Variations on the Theme
You can vary this drawing to produce some different results - for example, on the picture below we've altered the shape of the eyes and mouth, given the cat some big whiskers and put her into a sitting position rather than standing.
