easy cat drawing

An easy cat drawing starts with very simple shapes: circles, ovals, and a few triangles, so even beginners can get a cute result quickly.

Basic cute cat (front view)

• Draw a big oval or rounded rectangle for the body. Keep it wider than it is tall for a chubby look.

• On top, add a circle overlapping the body slightly for the head. Lightly sketch so you can adjust proportions.

• Add two triangles on top of the head for ears, with smaller triangles inside for the inner ears.

Face details

• Draw two big circle eyes halfway down the head; add smaller circles inside for highlights and color or shade the rest.

• Add a tiny upside‑down triangle for the nose , then a short line down and two curved “smile” lines for the mouth. This gives a very friendly expression.

• Add three short whisker lines on each cheek, curving slightly outward for a playful feel.

Paws, tail, and easy poses

• For paws, sketch small ovals at the bottom of the body; you can add two or three short lines on each to suggest toes.

• Draw a long “S”‑shaped curve from one side of the body for the tail, then a parallel line back to the body to give it thickness.

• To make a sleeping cat, think of a big sideways “C” for the body and a circle tucked inside for the head, then close the eyes with simple curved lines.

Quick coloring ideas

• Keep it simple: one main fur color with darker stripes or spots using short, curved strokes along the back, tail, and forehead.

• Add a little pink in the ears and nose, and a light shadow under the cat (a soft oval) to make it feel grounded without complex shading.

If you tell what style you like (realistic, cartoon, chibi, etc.), a step‑by‑step tailored version can be laid out for you.
