    This shape can vary. You could make it fluffy-looking by adding ear tufts, or maybe adding a swirly spiral of hair, etc.
  2. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/5\/50\/Draw-a-Cute-Cartoon-Cat-Step-2-Version-3.jpg\/v4-460px-Draw-a-Cute-Cartoon-Cat-Step-2-Version-3.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/5\/50\/Draw-a-Cute-Cartoon-Cat-Step-2-Version-3.jpg\/aid827366-v4-728px-Draw-a-Cute-Cartoon-Cat-Step-2-Version-3.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    These are in a sort of anime style, as they are much easier then drawing actual cat eyes. They also make the cat look much more cute.

    Be creative! Maybe add little fangs to the mouth, or a fishtail? Or how about squiggly whiskers if you were drawing a tough cat or an alley cat?
  4. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/f\/fc\/Draw-a-Cute-Cartoon-Cat-Step-4-Version-3.jpg\/v4-460px-Draw-a-Cute-Cartoon-Cat-Step-4-Version-3.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/f\/fc\/Draw-a-Cute-Cartoon-Cat-Step-4-Version-3.jpg\/aid827366-v4-728px-Draw-a-Cute-Cartoon-Cat-Step-4-Version-3.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    Once again, creativity is the key. Especially the collar. A tough kitty could have skulls and fish bones. A sweet kitty could have flowers and hearts. Finally, a fancy kitty could have lots and lots of diamonds!
  5. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/d\/dc\/Draw-a-Cute-Cartoon-Cat-Step-5-Version-3.jpg\/v4-460px-Draw-a-Cute-Cartoon-Cat-Step-5-Version-3.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/d\/dc\/Draw-a-Cute-Cartoon-Cat-Step-5-Version-3.jpg\/aid827366-v4-728px-Draw-a-Cute-Cartoon-Cat-Step-5-Version-3.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    You could make the tail scruffy to give it an "alley cat" look or fluffy, as if it were a "fancy kitty".
  6. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/9\/9a\/Draw-a-Cute-Cartoon-Cat-Step-6-Version-3.jpg\/v4-460px-Draw-a-Cute-Cartoon-Cat-Step-6-Version-3.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/9\/9a\/Draw-a-Cute-Cartoon-Cat-Step-6-Version-3.jpg\/aid827366-v4-728px-Draw-a-Cute-Cartoon-Cat-Step-6-Version-3.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    Spots, stripes, etc.
  7. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/2\/24\/Draw-a-Cute-Cartoon-Cat-Step-7-Version-3.jpg\/v4-460px-Draw-a-Cute-Cartoon-Cat-Step-7-Version-3.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/2\/24\/Draw-a-Cute-Cartoon-Cat-Step-7-Version-3.jpg\/aid827366-v4-728px-Draw-a-Cute-Cartoon-Cat-Step-7-Version-3.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    But you don't have to be. Draw a garden in the background or a simple food bowl, or whatever you can think of.

    How do I draw the world's cutest cat?
    Community Answer
    Make the eyes (and ears, if you want) as large as possible, and make the other facial features small. Also, make sure you include very cute-looking paws.

  • Question
    How do I draw the cheeks well?
    Community Answer
    Sketch out the general shape of the cheeks LIGHTLY with pencil. Then go back over it and polish the shape a little.

    What can I do if every time I get to the eyes, they come out looking weird or creepy?

    Draw steadily, and don't be too fast. Have patience and keep practicing.

      Tips

      • At first, draw the picture lightly. If you make mistakes in your drawing, then it will be easier to erase.
        Thanks
      • Add eyelashes if you would like. If you are drawing a bunch of these cats, eyelashes can easily determine boy from girl.
        Thanks
      • Make sure you draw the head big enough to fit all the facial features. If it is too small it looks odd.
        Thanks
