How to Draw a Cat and Fishbowl

14 steps · Medium · about 11 min

Draw a cat and fishbowl in 14 easy steps, about 11 minutes. Free, with a printable worksheet.

Each picture adds one red line. Draw that line, then scroll to the next picture. Rub out any dashed helper lines at the end. First up: big round head.

Step 1: Big round head
On the left draw the cat's big head: a wide egg, flatter on top, with round cheeks.
Tip Keep the right half of the page empty for the bowl.
Step 2: Pointy ears
Draw a pointy ear on each top corner of the head. Add a small triangle inside each one.
Step 3: Watching eyes
Draw 2 big oval eyes. Put the black dots on the right side, so the cat looks right.
Tip Leave a tiny white shine in each black dot.
Step 4: Nose and smile
Under the eyes draw a small upside-down triangle nose. From its point, draw a W smile.
Step 5: Plump body
Start under each cheek. Draw a big C down and round to meet in the middle at the bottom.
Tip The body is a little narrower than the head.
Step 6: Front legs
From under the chin draw 2 legs down to wide paws, thinner at the ankle. Add 2 toes each.
Tip Rub out the body line inside the legs.
Step 7: Back paws
Beside each front paw draw a small bun paw poking out from under the body. Add a toe line.
Tip Rub out the body line inside each back paw.
Step 8: Tail and whiskers
On the left draw a thick tail curling up to a round tip. Add 2 whiskers on each cheek.
Step 9: Round bowl
On the right draw a flat oval. From its left end draw a big circle round to its right end.
Tip Flatten the bottom of the circle, level with the paws.
Step 10: Water and ground
Draw a wavy water line across the bowl, near the top. Draw the ground under the cat and bowl.
Step 11: Goldfish
In the water draw a fat egg for the fish, pointing at the cat. Add a fan tail.
Step 12: Fish eye
Give the fish a big round eye near its nose, with a black dot looking at the cat.
Step 13: Fish and water
Colour the fish orange. Colour the water light blue, around the fish.
Step 14: Pink and grey
Colour the nose and ear middles pink. Colour the cat grey, around the white chest, paws and eyes.
