How to Draw a Cat Loaf

Step 1: Wide round head

Near the top, draw a wide round head, like an egg lying on its side.

Tip Leave room above for 2 ears and lots of room below.

Step 2: Pointy ears

Draw a pointy ear on each top corner of the head. Add a small triangle inside each one.

Tip Lean the ears out a little, like a cat listening.

Step 3: Happy closed eyes

In the middle of the head, draw 2 happy closed eyes. Start each rainbow curve low and end it low.

Tip This cat is so cosy that it smiles with its eyes.

Step 4: Nose and mouth

Under the eyes, draw a tiny triangle nose. From its point, draw a small W mouth.

Tip Both mouth curves start at the very same spot under the nose.

Step 5: Loaf body

Start behind the left cheek. Draw a big rounded loaf with a flat bottom, round to the right cheek.

Tip The loaf is wider than the head, and it is one smooth shape.

Step 6: Tucked paws

From the chin, draw 2 curved lines down to the bottom. The paws are tucked under, so no legs show.

Step 7: Wrapped tail

Wrap a thick tail round the bottom right, ending in a round tip. Rub out the body line inside it.

Tip The tail comes out from behind and lies along the ground.

Step 8: Whiskers

From each cheek, draw 2 whiskers out to the side, above the loaf.

Step 9: Back stripes

Start on the top of the loaf. Draw 3 short stripes down on each side of the head.

Step 10: Ground line

Start at the left. Draw a flat line under the loaf. Stop at the right, past the tail.

Step 11: Pink bits

Colour the nose and the inside of each ear pink. Add a small pink cheek under each eye.

Step 12: Cream chest

Colour the chest between the 2 curved lines cream.

Step 13: Grey fur

Colour the head, ears, loaf and tail grey, around the pink and cream. Your cat loaf is done!
