How to Draw a Cat with Kittens
Draw a cat with kittens 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: mum's head.
Step 1: Mum's head
On the left draw an egg head on its side with fur points on each cheek. Add 2 pointy ears.
Tip Keep her on the left. The kittens need the right half of the paper.
Step 2: Mum's eyes
In the middle of the head, draw 2 big oval eyes. Add black dots and white shines.
Step 3: Nose and whiskers
Draw a tiny triangle nose with a W smile under it. Add 2 whiskers out from each cheek.
Step 4: Mum's body
From each cheek draw a C down to the ground. From the chin draw 2 legs down to mitten paws.
Tip The legs are wide at the top and thin at the ankle.
Step 5: Paws and tail
Tuck a small bun paw beside each front paw. On the left, draw a thick tail curling up.
Step 6: First kitten's head
Beside the mum draw a small egg head, half her size, with a pointy ear on each top corner.
Tip Its chin is lower than its mum's chin.
Step 7: First kitten's face
Draw 2 big oval eyes with black dots and shines, a tiny triangle nose and a W smile.
Step 8: First kitten's body
From each cheek draw a fat C down to the ground. Add 2 legs and a curly tail.
Tip The 2 legs sit side by side, with one line down the middle and a round paw each.
Step 9: Second kitten's head
To the right draw another egg head, a little smaller, with a pointy ear on each top corner.
Step 10: Second kitten's face
Give it 2 big oval eyes with black dots and shines, a tiny triangle nose and a W smile.
Step 11: Second kitten's body
From its cheeks draw the same fat body, legs and tail. Draw a ground line to join all three cats.
Step 12: Pink noses
Colour the 3 noses pink.
Step 13: Ginger cats
Colour the mum and the first kitten ginger, around their pink noses. Leave all the eyes white.
Step 14: Grey kitten
Colour the second kitten grey, around its pink nose.
