How to Draw a Baby Bobcat

Step 1: Wide fluffy head

Near the top left draw a wide head. Give each cheek 2 pointed tufts of fur.

Tip The cheek tufts are what make it a bobcat.

Step 2: Tufted ears

On each top corner draw a tall pointed ear. Add a thin pointed tuft on each tip.

Step 3: Big eyes

In the middle of the head, a little to the left, draw 2 big oval eyes with black pupils.

Tip Leave a tiny white shine in each eye.

Step 4: Nose and smile

Below the eyes draw a muzzle and pink nose. Start the w smile on one side, stop on the other.

Step 5: Round back

Start on the head, level with the eyes. Draw the back, curl round the rump, stop half way down.

Tip A kitten's body is short and chunky.

Step 6: Front leg

Draw a ground line. Start under the chin, draw a leg down to a big paw, stop at the tummy.

Tip Kittens have big paws.

Step 7: Tummy and back leg

Start at the front leg. Draw the tummy, then the back leg down to a paw. Stop at the rump.

Step 8: Far legs

Draw 2 more legs peeking out from behind: one stepping forward under the chin, one under the tummy.

Step 9: Bobbed tail

On the rump draw a short stubby tail that points up. Draw a line across it near the tip.

Tip A bobcat's tail is short, as if it was bobbed.

Step 10: Toes

On each big paw draw 2 short curved toe lines, up from the ground. Draw 1 on each small paw.

Step 11: Bobcat spots

Draw 5 small oval spots on the back and the side: 3 in a row on top, 2 below.

Step 12: Cream and tan

Colour the muzzle cream. Colour the rest of the head and the ears tan.

Tip Leave the eyes and the ear tufts white for now.

Step 13: Tan body

Colour the body, the legs and the tail tan, around the spots. Leave the tip of the tail white.

Step 14: Black spots, tips

Colour the spots, the 2 ear tufts and the tip of the tail black.
