How to Draw a Cat Face
Draw a cat face in 10 easy steps, about 8 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: the head.
Step 1: The head
Draw a huge egg on its side that fills most of the page, with chubby cheeks below the middle.
Tip Give each cheek 2 soft round fur bumps. Round the bottom into a soft chin.
Step 2: Pointy ears
Start on each side of the head. Draw a tall pointy ear and stop back on the head line.
Tip Ears lean out a little.
Step 3: Two big eyes
Across the middle of the head draw 2 big oval eyes, 1 eye apart. Put a black dot in each.
Tip Leave a tiny white speck in each dot for the shine.
Step 4: Nose and W smile
Below the eyes draw a small upside-down triangle nose. From its point draw a wide W smile.
Tip Both smile curves start at the nose point and stop under the eyes.
Step 5: Inside the ears
Draw a small triangle inside each ear, pointing up the same way as the ear.
Step 6: Forehead stripes
Between the ears draw 3 short stripes down the forehead. Start a little below the head line.
Step 7: Long whiskers
Start on the head line above the fur bumps. Draw 3 whiskers out each side, stopping before the edge.
Tip Whiskers grow out from the face line. Never draw them across the face.
Step 8: Whisker dots
Dot 3 little whisker spots on each side of the nose.
Step 9: Pink nose and cheeks
Colour the nose and the ear insides pink, and colour a soft pink oval on each cheek.
Step 10: Colour the fur ginger
Colour the head and ears ginger, around the pink cheeks, nose and ear insides. Leave the eyes white.

Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a cat face, drawn by you.
