5 Tips: Drawing or painting a cat - Includes examples

Drawing cat

On this page you will find some examples to learn how to draw a cat in different poses, including some step-by-step instructions.

Drawing a cat's face

Personally, we find it quite difficult to draw cats because of their complex faces. Not only the almond-shaped eyes, but also the almost snout give little insight into the life of a cat.

Drawing or painting a cat

Here you will find several example photos of how to draw a cat. To improve spatial insight, you can first use a frame, for example. In addition, it is advisable to work step by step. First draw in less detail and make the cat more detailed step-by-step. 

Finally, we used the basic shapes to further develop the image, adding details and shadows.

If you use a photo as a template, you can draw the proportions and anatomy even more accurately. Drawing your own cat is of course the most difficult, because it rarely sits still long enough.
