A simple guide to drawing cats starting with the foundation of draw from shapes.
Step 1Draw a line showing the basic body shape; for this one I'm drawing a vertical line because my cat is sitting.
Step 2Next, draw circles to represent the body and head. They don't have to be perfect; these are just guidelines.
Step 3Connect the circles and add legs.
Step 4Add ears, a muzzle, eyes, and a tail.
Step 5Erase all unnecessary lines and adjust details such as adding extra lines, etc. If you want to change something in the picture, now is the time to do it (I've moved the tail).
Step 6Color and shade it, and you're done!
(NOTE: try not to make yours look like plastic or modeling clay. I'm sure you're better at shading than I am...-is mortified at level of shading skill-)
Step 7Happy drawing! (To the left: some examples of cats. I was too lazy to draw properly...)
