Draw The Base Of The Cat\u2019s Body<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Recommended tools:\u00a0<\/strong>H pencil<\/p>\n<p>To get started on drawing a cat, we\u2019re going to <strong>sketch some basic shapes first<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>This step is key because it allows you to create a proportionate drawing.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Many people make a mistake and immediately jump into drawing a cat\u2019s head with all the details on it, but they usually end up messing up the ratio between the cat\u2019s body and its head.<\/p>\n<p>So, let\u2019s draw three circles first, one for its head, the belly and the legs.<\/p>\n<p>While you work on the outline, try not to apply too much pressure on your pencil because you\u2019ll delete the necessary parts in the end.<\/p>\n<p>Now, the top circle for the cat\u2019s head should be <strong>the smallest<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The second circle should be <strong>slightly larger<\/strong> than the first one, but not too much because kitty bellies aren\u2019t usually big unless the cat needs to diet. Make sure that the second circle touches the first one.<\/p>\n<p>The third and final circle should be <strong>the largest<\/strong> of the three. This is the area where you\u2019ll later add the cat\u2019s legs.<\/p>\n<p>When drawing the bottom circle, make it so that it covers about two-thirds of the belly circle, like this:<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_17621\" style=\"width: 666px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17621\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-17621\" src=\"https:\/\/2023.biowars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/how-to-draw-a-cat-base.jpg\" alt=\"Illustration showing three circles as the basis for the cat\u2019s body.\" width=\"656\" height=\"674\" srcset=\"https:\/\/2023.biowars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/how-to-draw-a-cat-base.jpg 656w, https:\/\/2023.biowars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/how-to-draw-a-cat-base-292x300.jpg 292w, https:\/\/2023.biowars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/how-to-draw-a-cat-base-440x452.jpg 440w, https:\/\/2023.biowars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/how-to-draw-a-cat-base-635x652.jpg 635w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 656px) 100vw, 656px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-17621\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">These circles are the base for your cat drawing! \u200b<\/p><\/div>\n<p>At this point, your sketch looks more like a snowman, but that\u2019s about to change!<\/p>\n<h3>2. Add The Cat\u2019s Ears<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Recommended tools:\u00a0<\/strong>H pencil<\/p>\n<p>Cats have cute and small ears that allow them to hear both higher and lower frequencies than you can. In fact, their <strong>hearing is about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.petacoustics.com\/blog\/2016\/9\/28\/dafagadfg-l9tym\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">three<\/a> times more powerful than yours<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Now, drawing the cat\u2019s ears is quite easy. You should just draw two triangles but without their bases.<\/p>\n<p>Next, draw <strong>two lines that go from either side of the cat\u2019s head and draw them toward the belly<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Can you see the cat\u2019s upper body slowly shaping before your eyes?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"mceNonEditable cta-custom\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/biowars\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Follow us on Instagram and enjoy the latest Biowars updates!<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>3. Draw The Cat\u2019s Legs<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Recommended tools:\u00a0<\/strong>H pencil<\/p>\n<p>The cat\u2019s legs are short and cute, but can seem complex to draw when you\u2019re a beginner.<\/p>\n<p>As always, we\u2019re going to simplify the process and draw the basic outline of the legs first.<\/p>\n<p>Gon\u00e7alo drew the cat\u2019s legs like four <strong>fluffy loaves of bread<\/strong>, like this:<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_17622\" style=\"width: 579px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17622\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-17622\" src=\"https:\/\/2023.biowars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/how-to-draw-cat-ears-legs-outline.jpg\" alt=\"Illustration showing the outline of a cat\u2019s body with ears and legs added in.\" width=\"569\" height=\"719\" srcset=\"https:\/\/2023.biowars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/how-to-draw-cat-ears-legs-outline.jpg 569w, https:\/\/2023.biowars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/how-to-draw-cat-ears-legs-outline-237x300.jpg 237w, https:\/\/2023.biowars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/how-to-draw-cat-ears-legs-outline-440x556.jpg 440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 569px) 100vw, 569px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-17622\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The cat\u2019s chubby legs resemble loaves of bread! \u200b<\/p><\/div>\n<h3>4.

Read this!<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>6. Add The Cat\u2019s Tail<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Recommended tools:\u00a0<\/strong>H pencil<\/p>\n<p>The cat in the video tutorial is a chill one.<\/p>\n<p>It is sitting peacefully, so her <strong>tail is in a relaxed position<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>You can draw it slightly curved next to the cat\u2019s body, as Gon\u00e7alo did.<\/p>\n<p>When drawing the tail, just <strong>pay attention to its width and length<\/strong> since they should be proportionate to the cat\u2019s body.<\/p>\n<h3>7. Draw The Pupils<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Recommended tools:\u00a0<\/strong>H pencil<\/p>\n<p>Cats\u2019 eyes are among the most unusual in the animal world. And that\u2019s not just because of their color, which can range from cerulean and yellow to piercingly green.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Their pupils are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.livescience.com\/51787-why-cats-have-vertical-pupils.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">vertical<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>So, when adding pupils to your drawing of a cat, sketch <strong>two tiny oval shapes<\/strong> inside the eye, like this:<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_17624\" style=\"width: 673px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17624\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-17624\" src=\"https:\/\/2023.biowars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/how-to-draw-cat-pupils.jpg\" alt=\"Illustration showing the addition of the pupils to the cat drawing.\u200b\" width=\"663\" height=\"814\" srcset=\"https:\/\/2023.biowars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/how-to-draw-cat-pupils.jpg 663w, https:\/\/2023.biowars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/how-to-draw-cat-pupils-244x300.jpg 244w, https:\/\/2023.biowars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/how-to-draw-cat-pupils-440x540.jpg 440w, https:\/\/2023.biowars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/how-to-draw-cat-pupils-635x780.jpg 635w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 663px) 100vw, 663px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-17624\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cats have vertical-slit pupils.\u200b<\/p><\/div>\n<h3>8. Sketch The Toes<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Recommended tools:\u00a0<\/strong>H pencil<\/p>\n<p>Next up, let\u2019s add <strong>two lines to each paw to illustrate the toes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The lines should follow the outer arch of the paws.<\/p>\n<p>Et voil\u00e0, the basic sketch of a cat is not finished!<\/p>\n<h3>9. Illustrate The Whiskers<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Recommended tools:\u00a0<\/strong>H pencil<\/p>\n<p>When you look at the finished outline of the cat\u2019s body, you\u2019ll notice that the majority of it looks geometrical, with all the circles, triangles, and oval shapes.<\/p>\n<p>So now, we want to add some details to the illustration to make it look realistic.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s draw the whiskers first.<\/p>\n<p>Did you know that cats have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sophisticat.com.au\/2020\/02\/11\/there-are-exactly-24-whiskers-on-every-cat\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">24<\/a> whiskers, 12 on each cheek?<\/p>\n<p>The cat\u2019s whiskers are like radars that help cats maintain balance and detect changes in their surroundings.<\/p>\n<p>Now, you don\u2019t have to draw exactly 24 whiskers. Instead, <strong>three or four whiskers on each side<\/strong> will suffice.<\/p>\n<p>While sketching the whiskers, don\u2019t apply too much pressure to your pen. Try to loosen up your arm and use short, light strokes.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_17625\" style=\"width: 701px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17625\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-17625\" src=\"https:\/\/2023.biowars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/how-to-draw-cat-whiskers.jpg\" alt=\"Illustration of a cat with whiskers.\" width=\"691\" height=\"785\" srcset=\"https:\/\/2023.biowars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/how-to-draw-cat-whiskers.jpg 691w, https:\/\/2023.biowars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/how-to-draw-cat-whiskers-264x300.jpg 264w, https:\/\/2023.biowars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/how-to-draw-cat-whiskers-440x500.jpg 440w, https:\/\/2023.biowars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/how-to-draw-cat-whiskers-635x721.jpg 635w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 691px) 100vw, 691px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-17625\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Let\u2019s illustrate the whiskers!\u200b<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Since all the elements of the cat\u2019s body are there, you can make the outline thicker and darker.<\/p>\n<h3>10. Draw The Cat\u2019s Hair<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Recommended tools:\u00a0<\/strong>H pencil<\/p>\n<p>To illustrate the cat\u2019s fur, you can draw some <strong>wiggly and short, straight lines on its chest, legs and tail<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Gon\u00e7alo also <strong>drew brow bones<\/strong> just above the eyes and <strong>the nose bridge<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3>11. Add Dimension To Your Drawing<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Recommended tools:\u00a0<\/strong>H and 4B pencils<\/p>\n<p>Now\u2019s the time to make the cat look realistic, and we\u2019re going to achieve that with shading.<\/p>\n<p>Gon\u00e7alo colored the cat\u2019s pupils and added <strong>shade<\/strong> around its eyes, nose and ears.<\/p>\n<p>When shading, we suggest you <strong>hold your pencil at a slanting angle<\/strong>.
