How to Draw a Sphynx Cat

12 steps · Medium · about 9 min

Draw a sphynx cat 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 on its side with chubby cheeks and a soft chin.
Tip The head takes up more than half of the whole cat.
Step 2: Huge bat ears
From the side of the head, draw a huge pointy ear leaning out, back to the top. Do both.
Tip Each ear is about half as tall as the head. Draw a big V inside each one.
Step 3: Two big eyes
On the head's middle, draw 2 big ovals an eye apart. Inside each, draw a dot with a shine.
Step 4: Nose and W smile
Below the eyes, draw an upside-down triangle nose. From its point, draw a W smile, curling up under each eye.
Step 5: Round body and chest
From each cheek, draw a big C down to meet at the bottom. Add a U chest under the chin.
Tip A fat pear hanging off the cheeks, never wider than the head.
Step 6: Front legs
Start on the chest line. Draw a U leg down to a fat mitten paw and back up. Do both.
Tip Short legs, big paws. Add 2 toe curves to each paw.
Step 7: Long curling tail
Start low on the right of the body. Draw a thin tail along the ground, curling up to a tip.
Step 8: Back paws
Under each side of the body, draw a plump bun paw on the ground, behind the front paw.
Step 9: Wrinkles
High on the forehead, draw 2 short rainbow lines, one above the other, well above the eyes.
Step 10: The ground
Draw a flat ground line under the paws, from the left back paw to a little past the tail.
Step 11: Peach skin
Colour the whole cat peach: head, ears, body, legs, paws and tail. Leave the ear insides, nose and eyes white.
Tip This cat has no fur, just soft wrinkly skin.
Step 12: Pink and green
Colour the nose and the ear insides pink. Colour a green circle round each black dot, leaving a white edge.
