How to Draw A Cat Face Step by Step

Step by Step Guide

If you want to draw a cat face, but don’t know where to start, don’t worry. I too have struggled with this drawing in the past, and worked my way through numerous tutorials and lessons to come up with the perfect step by step cat face drawing tutorial. It’s a relatively simple approach that won’t take up much time, and is ‘purrfect’ for beginners.

We take a top to bottom approach to draw this face. Everything is pretty easy to replicate, apart from the eyes, where you’ll need to be a bit careful. Once all the basic stuff is done, give it a final touchup with a sharp pencil, and you are done with your cat face drawing.

Start with the left half

Draw the lower part of the face in the shape of a heart. The upper part has a pointy year.

Draw the other half

Repeat the same process for the right side now.

Add the nose and mouth

Use a light pencil to sketch the small nose and mouth of your cat.

Draw the left eye

Use a light pencil to draw the eye on the left side of your paper.

Draw the other eye

Repeat the process for the other eye, and use a dark pencil to sharpen the outlines.

Sketch some fur

Add a bit of wavy fur over the right ear.

More fur

Add fur on the left ear now.

Sketch the eyebrows

Use a light pencil to draw eyebrows on top of the cat’s eyes.

Add some details

A few rough lines across the face will take care of the realistic details.

Draw the whiskers

Use a light pencil to draw some lines on the face for the whiskers.

Darken the outlines

Use a dark tone pencil to give the outlines a more vivid appearance.

Let us color

Your drawing is done. Now you just have to color it.
