How to Draw a Scottish Fold
Draw a Scottish fold in 12 easy steps, about 9 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 of your paper draw a big egg lying on its side. Give each cheek a fur puff.
Tip Make the head big, bigger than the body.
Step 2: Folded ears
On each top corner of the head, draw a small flap folded forward, its tip pointing down.
Tip Folded ears lie low and flat, like tiny caps.
Step 3: Big round eyes
In the middle of the head draw 2 big round eyes. Colour a big black dot in each.
Step 4: Nose and smile
Draw a small upside-down triangle nose under the eyes and colour it in. Hang a wide W smile from it.
Step 5: Round body
Start under the left cheek and draw a big round body. Stop under the right cheek.
Tip The body is never wider than the head.
Step 6: Front legs
From under the chin, draw a U leg down to a mitten paw. Do 2. Add paw curves and toes.
Step 7: Curling tail
From the right hip, draw a thick tail to the ground, then curl it up, thinner, to a round tip.
Step 8: Back paws
Under each side of the body draw a plump bun for a back paw. Add 2 toe curves.
Step 9: Whiskers
Draw 3 whiskers on each cheek, starting on the fur puff and going out past the head.
Step 10: The ground
Draw a ground line under the paws from left to right, under the tail too.
Step 11: White tummy and paws
Colour the tummy strip and all 4 paws white.
Step 12: Grey fur
Colour the fur grey, around the white tummy and paws. Leave the eyes white. Your Scottish fold is done!
