How to draw for kids

Kittens, puppies and ice cream

Cute things to draw

Big eyes, round cheeks and tiny paws: the cute drawings children ask for, including how to draw a kitty, a puppy and a cute ice cream.

Cute is mostly proportions: a big round head, eyes low and wide apart, small body, little paws. Every lesson below already has those built in, so you draw the shapes in order and the cute looks after itself. The kitten and cat shelf comes first because it is the most asked-for drawing on the site.

Questions parents and teachers ask

How do you draw a cute kitten step by step?

Start with a big egg for the head, add two triangle ears, then a plump little body below. Eyes go low on the head and far apart; the nose is a tiny triangle with a W smile. The kitten lesson walks through each of those in order with the new lines in red.

What makes a drawing look cute?

A head that is bigger than the body, big eyes set low and wide, small features, round edges and short limbs. Pick any lesson above and those proportions are already in the guide shapes.
