Steps
-
Draw a large oval for the head. Make sure you add in guidelines in the center of the oval for the eyes and nose: they are very helpful to draw the facial features. They should cross as seen, so you can use them in the next step when you add those features. -
Sketch in two ovals for the eyes. Between and below them, draw another small oval for her nose.Advertisement
-
Add two triangles for the ears, and three lines in each cheek for the whiskers. They can vary in length and flair; the usual style is shown here.
-
At the left ear, start drawing her ribbon. Draw a large circle and two small circles on each side overlapping the large one. Draw two triangles in each side of the circle with curved sides.
-
Draw a large, round-edged triangle. Draw two ovals for the feet.

For the arms, draw ovals for each. Don't forget two circles for her thumb! Hello Kitty doesn't really have fingers, like a human, or paws, like a cat; her look is unique to her, so try hard to get it right.

Add in her clothes. She usually wears a jumper and a shirt. (You can dress her in any kind of clothing you’d like, though!)
-
Outline the image. Erase the guidelines and any other unnecessary marks.now your hello kitty's basic sketch is ready!!

Color in your drawing. Use primarily shades of pink, with a dot of yellow for her nose and darker eyes/whiskers. You're done!

QuestionWhy is the grey added during the coloring step?Celeste AmelieCommunity AnswerShading helps give a picture a feeling of realism, making the shadows darker and the highlights lighter. Hello Kitty's fur is white, so the shadows on her fur would be a darker version of that - grey!
