How to Draw a Mummy Cat

14 steps · Medium · about 11 min

Draw a mummy cat 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: the head.

Step 1: The head
Near the top, draw a big egg on its side. Puff out the cheeks with 2 tiny fur points each.
Step 2: Pointy ears
Draw a tall pointy ear on each top corner of the head. Add a small triangle inside each one.
Step 3: Two big eyes
In the middle of the head, draw 2 big oval eyes, one eye apart. Add black dots and white shines.
Step 4: Nose and W smile
Under the eyes, draw a small upside-down triangle nose and colour it pink. From its point, draw a W smile.
Tip Both smile curves start at the very same spot on the nose.
Step 5: Plump body
Start under each cheek. Draw a big C down and round to meet in the middle at the bottom.
Tip A fat pear, never wider than the head.
Step 6: Front legs
Start under the chin and draw a U leg down to a mitten paw. Add a paw curve and toes.
Tip Short legs, big paws. Curvy sides, never straight sticks.
Step 7: Curly tail
On the right of the body, draw a thick tail along the ground that curls up to a round tip.
Step 8: Back paws
Under each side, draw a small bun paw tucked behind the front paw. Add 2 toe curves.
Step 9: Head bandages
Draw a line across the head above the eyes and one below. Add 2 slanting lines across the forehead.
Tip Every bandage line starts and stops on the edge of the head.
Step 10: Leg bandages
Draw 2 slanting lines across each front leg, from one edge of the leg to the other.
Step 11: Body and tail bandages
Draw 2 slanting lines on each side of the body, from edge to leg. Add 2 across the tail.
Step 12: Whiskers and ground
From each cheek, draw 2 whiskers out past the head. Draw a ground line under the paws, past the tail.
Step 13: Cream bandages
Colour the bandages cream: head, ears, body, legs, paws and tail. Leave the eye strip and inside the ears.
Step 14: Grey face, pink ears
Colour the strip round the eyes grey and inside the ears pink. Leave the eyes white. Go over your lines.
