How to Draw a Kawaii Cat

How about drawing something very cute and attractive? We hope you planned this because we created a tutorial on how to draw a kawaii cat.

Step 1

We adhere to a special philosophy according to which the most complex things can be drawn using very simple shapes. So in this guide, we’ll start with two simple shapes. We will simply draw a large circle and a large oval, which overlap a little like in our sample. Notice the difference in size between these two shapes. As you can see, these shapes don’t have to be symmetrical.

Step 2

A very important detail of a cute animal is, of course, kawaii ears. Let’s outline the large ears that take up a fairly large space on the head. Each eyelet looks like a triangle, which is divided by a smooth vertical line.

Step 3

You think drawing the eyes of cute kawaii creatures is very difficult, right? It’s very easy, we will tell you how to do it. And first we outline a couple of circles, as in our sample. A small nose that looks like a triangle and a mouth that looks like a pair of curved lines.

Step 4

Choose any pose for your kawaii cat. We decided to form a pose in which the cat is going to hug what is in front of him. To depict this pose, you need to outline a pair of short legs with a slight bend. Please note that the paws are of different sizes due to the peculiarities of the angle.

Step 5

So, we continue the guide on how to draw a kawaii cat. We are drawing a small kitten, whose limbs are not yet fully formed and are very different from the limbs of an adult animal. Therefore, in this step we outline a pair of rounded short hind legs.

Step 6

A small detail that is clearly missing here. This, of course, is a rounded tail. Let’s draw this. As you can see, the tail has a slight extension in the distal direction.

Step 7

Let’s erase the extra lines to make our drawing complete. Don’t forget the small detail – a couple of white highlights in each eye. The highlights are of different sizes, as you can see.

Step 8

So we have the last step. As always, in the last step we work with paints. You can choose any color you like, we have chosen light pink.
