Cats are wonderful drawing subjects. They have beautiful, curving lines, are exceptionally graceful, have amusing behaviors, and even come in a wonderful array of colors and patterns. Being able to draw a cat means you can doodle to your heart's content for hours, drawing cats playing with string, chasing butterflies, and snoozing in the sun. Here's a simple lesson for how to draw a cat.



how to draw a cat, draw a cat1) Start with a long oval shape for the cat's body. Notice how the oval is tilted down on one side. This angle is helpful when you are drawing a cat from a 3/4 angle, as we are in this lesson. But if you want to draw a cat just from a "straight-on" angle, you can draw the circle without the tilt.
