14 steps · Medium · about 11 min

Draw a sushi 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: big soft head.

Step 1: Big soft head
On the left of your paper draw a big soft head, wider than tall, like a bun.
Tip Leave room on the right for the long body.
Step 2: Pointy ears
On each top corner of the head draw a pointy ear. Add a small triangle inside each one.
Step 3: Happy closed eyes
Across the middle of the head draw 2 closed eyes, each a little rainbow curve.
Step 4: Nose and smile
Under the eyes draw a tiny triangle nose. From its point draw a W smile.
Tip Keep the nose small.
Step 5: Whiskers
Start on each cheek. Draw 2 short whiskers going out, away from the face.
Tip Keep the whiskers short.
Step 6: Tucked paws
Under the chin draw 2 round paws side by side. Add 2 toe lines on each.
Tip Rub out the chin line inside the paws.
Step 7: Long round back
From the right ear draw a long hill to the right, down a round rump and back to the paws.
Tip The body is longer than the head.
Step 8: Folded back leg
Start on the bottom line near the rump. Draw a rainbow curve up and over to the rump.
Tip This is the back leg, folded under the cat.
Step 9: Rice block
Under the cat draw a long box with round corners. Rule a ground line under it.
Tip The paws hang over the top of the rice.
Step 10: Seaweed belt
Draw a wide belt over the middle of the back and straight down the rice to the ground.
Tip Rub out the cat and rice lines inside the belt.
Step 11: Hanging tail
Start on the rump. Draw a fat tail hanging down over the end of the rice, curling left.
Tip Rub out the rice line inside the tail.
Step 12: Rice grains
On the rice draw 7 short curved dashes for grains, tilted different ways.
Step 13: Pink and ginger
Colour the nose and inside the ears pink. Colour the cat ginger, but not the belt.
Step 14: Green seaweed
Go over your lines. Colour the seaweed belt dark green. Leave the rice white.
