Draw Cute Cartoon Cats - It's Easy

When I was a kid, I've loved drawing. It's a fun activity and all you need is some paper and a pencil. Because I'm a cat person, drawing cats was a favorite subject. If you are a cat lover too, I'll show you some easy ways to draw cute cartoon cats.

Cats come in many colors and shapes and are easy to turn into a cartoon character. There are sleek cats, fluffy cats, happy cats and mad cats. You can change your drawing to make it funny or cute. I'll show you how to do this with some sample drawings.

Then it is up to you, to practice drawing until you like how your cartoon cats look. Keep trying and you'll be glad you started drawing cats.

Start Drawing the Cat's Face

Make a circle and add two ears

Put two eyes, a triangle for a nose. An upside-down M makes the mouth. Then add whiskers with lines out from the nose.

Make a Basic Triangle for the Cat's Body

Add a tail

See how the eyes are different. This makes the cat look funnier. The artist got this crazy cat look by making one eye bigger than the other and putting the pupils near the center to make the cat look cross-eyed.
