How to Draw the Cat in the Hat
- Prepare the base.
Draw the main parts of the body in the form of oval shapes. Use a smooth line to mark the central axis of the body.
- Add the limbs and tail.
With the help of a few thin lines define the position of the upper lower limbs and define the position of the tail.
- Draw the head.
Focus on the auxiliary lines and give the head the desired shape. Draw the ear, the front of the muzzle and add the long whiskers on the sides.
- Add the rest of the muzzle and hat.
Draw two oval-shaped eyes, add eyebrows and the small nose. Draw the tall cap and add some cross lines on it.
- Sketch out the neck and tie.
Draw connecting lines between the head and the thoracic region. With smooth curved lines draw the bow tie around the neck.
- Draw the torso.
Now draw the elongated torso that has a narrow top and widens towards the bottom.
- Depict one upper paw.
Use the line you drew earlier as a guide and give the arm the desired thickness. Try to correctly depict the position of the fingers.
- Add the second paw.
Give thickness to the second paw in the same way as you did in the previous step. Draw the lower part of the paw, which is bent and rests against the side.
- Depict one lower paw.
Focus on the auxiliary lines and draw one lower paw. At the bottom, add the wide foot and pointed toes.
- Draw the second lower paw.
Draw the second paw according to the same principle that you used in the last step. The only difference is that here the foot is raised up.
- Sketch out the tail.
All parts of the body are drawn, and it remains only to draw the tail. Use the guideline as a guide and give the tail the desired thickness.
- Correct inaccuracies.
Take a close look at your drawing and if you notice any mistakes, correct them at this stage. Remove all auxiliary lines.
- Color the drawing.
For coloring, you will need gray and red. Don’t forget to highlight the dark areas.
