14 steps · Medium · about 11 min

Draw a cat eating 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: wide cat head.

Step 1: Wide cat head
On the left draw a wide head with a pointed cheek each side, tipping down to the left.
Tip Leave room under it for the bowl, and on the right for the body.
Step 2: Pointed ears
On top of the head draw 2 pointed ears with a small triangle inside each. The left ear is smaller.
Step 3: Big eyes
Across the middle of the head draw 2 oval eyes with black dots. Leave a white shine in each.
Tip Both eyes sit a little to the left, because the head is turned.
Step 4: Snout and whiskers
Low on the left draw an oval snout. From its triangle nose draw down into a w. Add 3 whiskers.
Tip Rub out the head line inside the snout.
Step 5: Food bowl
Draw a ground line. Under the snout draw a round bowl with a little fish on its front.
Step 6: Heap of food
Start left on the bowl top. Draw a bumpy heap of food and stop on the right.
Tip The snout dips into the food, so the bumps hide behind it.
Step 7: Long back
Start behind the head. Draw a long smooth back, curl round the bottom and stop above the ground.
Step 8: Front leg
From under the cheek draw a slim leg down to a round paw with 2 toes, then back up.
Tip The leg gets thinner just above the paw.
Step 9: Tummy and back leg
From the front leg draw the tummy. Then a round thigh down to a paw and up to the bottom.
Tip The back leg bends just above the paw. Add 2 toe lines.
Step 10: Far legs
Under the tummy draw 2 more legs peeking out behind, each with a paw and 1 toe.
Step 11: Curled tail
From the top of the bottom draw a long tail going up. Curl its round tip over to the left.
Step 12: Cream and pink
Colour the snout cream. Colour the nose and ear middles pink. Add a pink cheek under each eye.
Step 13: Grey fur
Colour the cat grey, around the snout and the ear middles. Leave the eyes white.
Step 14: Bowl and food
Colour the food brown. Colour the bowl blue, around the fish. Leave the fish white.
