How To Draw A Cat

10 Amazing (and Easy!) Tutorials

Introduction

I love to draw cats. It’s therapeutic for me. But no matter how attracted I am to these fluffy little creatures, I was never that good at drawing them. This, however, changed when I allocated myself a bit of time to check out a few amazing tutorials on how to draw a cat. Believe it or not, it took me less than a week to perfect (or purr-fect in this case) my cat drawings. All I did was pay attention to those tutorials, and work alongside them. The results were indeed fascinating, and I think anyone can master the art of drawing cats, once they’ve gone through the same set of tutorials that I have.

If you want to draw a cat, you need to focus on a few elements of the cat. First is the cat’s eyes and its gaze. Next, you work on the body, and the fur. Along with that, you decide on a stance or pose that the cat is taking. Finally, you work out the details on the cat’s paws. By keeping these things in mind, you’ll be able to take a very steady approach to your cat drawing.
