How to Draw Cat Eyes

We hope you enjoy completing the new step-by-step tutorial on how to draw cat eyes. As a result, you will acquire useful skills that will come in handy when you want to draw a whole cat.

As usual, you will start drawing with the construction of auxiliary lines, with which you can correctly position all the elements of the picture.

If your is art supplies are already at the ready, then you can get to work.

Step 1: Draw the base for the cat eyes

Lightly sketch two equal circles with a small gap between them to set the size and placement of the cat eyes. These simple construction shapes will help you keep both eyes equal.

Step 2: Add guidelines to the sketch

Draw a vertical guideline between the circles, then add a gently curved horizontal guideline across the centers of the cat eyes. These reference lines will help position the eyes.

Step 3: Outline the outer shape

Use the guidelines to outline the almond-shaped cat eyes. Define the inner and outer corners, then sketch the top of the nose between them with light, smooth lines.

Step 4: Draw the cat eye pupils

Sketch narrow vertical pupils inside each eye using long pointed oval shapes. Keep both pupils the same size and centered to give the cat eyes a symmetrical appearance.

Step 5: Add the fur pattern around the eyes

Draw the uneven contour lines around the cat eyes to separate the different fur colors. These markings create the characteristic pattern surrounding the cat’s eyes.

Step 6: Draw the fur around the cat eyes

Add many short strokes around the eyes to create the texture of the fur. Vary the length and direction of the lines to give the fur a more natural appearance.

Step 7: Clean up the eyes shape

Erase the construction lines and refine the outlines of the eyes, pupils, nose, and fur. If you’d like to continue, try drawing a complete cat.

Step 8: Color the cat eyes drawing

Color the irises blue, fill the pupils with black, and use brown and gray shades for the surrounding fur. Leave small highlights in the eyes to make them appear bright.

You have finished drawing a pair of cat eyes. Once you’re comfortable with these shapes, try drawing the entire cat head or experiment with different eye colors and fur patterns.
