How to draw a British cat in stages. How to draw a sleeping kitten with a pencil step by step

Cats are one of the cutest creatures on our planet :) They are loved even if they just lie on the couch all day and do nothing. Today we will figure out how to draw cats for children.

Examples for drawing will be varied, cats for very young children, cats for children about eight years old and cats for older children. And adults sometimes draw the same cats, because they look beautiful despite the simplicity of the drawing :)

There are a lot of cats in this lesson, so we have made two contents for you.

Draw a cat for children 7 years old

This cat can be drawn by a 7-8 year old child. It is much easier to draw than our other examples.

Stage 1
Let's start drawing from the head. We draw a head similar to the head of Batman :) Oval with ears.

Stage 2
Draw the muzzle with simple lines. Closed contented eyes, nose and mouth. Also, draw the ears with sharp lines, which will indicate the wool.

Stage 3
At the third stage, draw long antennae and draw the front legs.

Stage 4
Now we draw the second part of the body. Since this is a child's drawing of a cat, we do not need perfect proportions. We draw the back, paws and, accordingly, the tail.

Stage 5
Admiring the kitty that we got :) Color it, for example, yellow, blue or green :)

Learn to draw a sitting cat

This example is suitable for a child 8 years old. He will surely cope with such a tiger :)
In this example, our tailed beast will have an unusual color, it will be a tiger-cat!

Stage 1
At the first stage, we will analyze two simple steps at once :)
First, draw an oval. Have you painted? Fine! Now, at the bottom of the oval, we need to draw the face of our cat.

Stage 2
Draw the ears and make sharp strokes inside them. As mentioned earlier, we draw a cat-tiger :) Therefore, in three different sides of the muzzle, we need to draw three lines.

On the left and right side, the lines will be the same, but on the upper side, the lines are slightly longer.

Stage 3
In the second step, we finished drawing the head and now we start drawing the body of our seated tiger. We draw the chest, front leg and back.

Stage 4
Now we draw the second front leg, some part of this leg overlaps the first leg, since it is closer to us.

We draw the hind paw. The back paw is much more difficult to draw than it looks, so don't press too hard on the pencil. You may have to erase a not-so-beautiful foot and redraw it.

Stage 5
At the fifth stage, draw stripes on the legs and thicker stripes on the back. Draw a tail and make stripes on it.

6 stage
Coloring: 3

It is not necessary to paint him like a tiger, if you erase all the stripes and choose a different color, then you get an ordinary cat, not a tiger.

An example of drawing a cat for a child 9 years old

At first glance, this cat seems very complex and it may seem that it will be difficult for a child to draw it, but this is not at all the case. Thanks to the step-by-step examples, you will find that drawing it is very simple. Let's get started!

Stage 1
As you can see in the picture above, our cat is in such a position that its front legs are standing, but at the same time it sits on its hind legs. That is why her figure turns out to be elongated and that is why we draw three circles that are connected by lines.

The topmost circle must be divided as shown in the figure. This is necessary for the future muzzle. Do not press too hard on the pencil, because most of the lines are auxiliary and will be erased.

Stage 2
At the second stage, we draw the ears, draw the muzzle. We connect two circles with two lines to make a neck. Also, sketch out the cat's tail and left leg.

Stage 3
The third is the most difficult stage. Here we draw the legs and tail. It is difficult to describe how to draw the paws and tail correctly, so just look at the picture below and try to draw something similar.

We draw the muzzle and connect the lower part of the body and the upper one with lines.

Stage 4
The easiest and most enjoyable stage :) Draw antennae and stripes on the legs.

Stage 5
At the last stage, we erase all our auxiliary lines and our kitty is ready.

If you want, you can paint it in your favorite color;)

Draw a sleeping cat

How to draw a sleeping cat for kids? Very simple! It is drawn in just 6 stages and a child of about 9 years old can complete them. Let's start!

Stage 1
At the first stage of our second cat in the cat drawing lesson for children, we draw a circle :) This will be the head of the cat. Then divide the circle in half vertically and slightly below the center horizontally.

Stage 2
We detail our circle. We draw eyes, nose and mouth. In our example, the eyes are closed with pleasure: 3 But you can draw them open, although if you remember that we are drawing a sleeping cat, then open eyes would be inappropriate here.

Stage 3
We draw a muzzle. Try to draw it symmetrical, and draw tousled fur in the top center.

Stage 4
Now one of the most difficult stages, but you will definitely get it right!

It is necessary to draw a smooth line of the body, which will imperceptibly flow into the tail. The line must necessarily rise above the head of our cat, and then smoothly become lower and turn into a tail.

Stage 5
Refining the final touches. We draw one front paw, it will be slightly visible behind the tail. We draw a mustache, the tip of the tail and folds in some places.

6 stage
We erase the auxiliary lines and, if desired, color the sleeping cat.

How to draw a cute cat for kids?

This cat is not the easiest cat to draw for a child, and it doesn’t look very much like a cat, but this creature is very cute. This cat looks a bit like an anime cat, with huge eyes and an unusual body shape.

Stage 1
Draw a circle, divide it vertically and just below the center vertically. Draw a slightly smaller oval under this circle.

Stage 2
The second stage is more difficult than the first, you need to detail the head. Draw the ears and draw a large circle with lines that will form the head.

Stage 3
We draw huge eyes! The larger the eyes, the prettier the cat will be: 3 Draw the eyebrows and mouth. In our example, we did not draw a nose, but if you really want to draw it, then of course you can do it.

Stage 4
The fourth is not a very difficult stage. We draw two front legs, try to draw them not very thin, because we will have a plump cat.

Stage 5
We draw the body of the cat a little wider than the previously outlined oval and add a tail.

6 stage
Well, at the last stage, we erase all auxiliary lines and, if desired, color our cute cat.

Parents face a child's request to draw a cat regardless of his age. Crumbs want to get a coloring in the form of a wise Puss in Boots, a red-headed mischief from Shrek or another character from their favorite cartoon, and older children ask for help in completing school assignments.

Instructions on how to draw cats step by step will help novice artists create their first masterpieces. It is better to start with simple images, and only then move on to more complex ones.

Kids will love these funny cats. Quick, contoured sketches will keep your child entertained in line or while traveling. In addition, believability, color brightness or shadow depth in this case does not matter. We offer some simple examples of how to draw a cat:

Option 1:

In order to depict such a funny animal from geometric shapes, you will need a sheet of paper, a pencil or pen, an eraser and just a couple of minutes of time.

First, you need to draw a trapezoid and conventionally mark the middle (stages 1 and 2). Then the ears and paws are drawn (stages 3 and 4), the excess is erased with an eraser. In the fifth stage, the pupils, nose, mouth and long mustache are made. Claws are drawn on the paws. The cat is ready. It remains only to color it.

Option 2:

The technique for drawing such a cartoon cat is also quite simple. First, the main zones are marked: head, torso, legs and tail. Then the details are drawn: ears, muzzle, claws, hair on the tail. During the final stage, all unnecessary lines are erased, and the clarity of the picture is added.

How to draw a cat using pencil technique

Pencil graphics are loved by many artists for the absence of unnecessary details, for their clarity and simplicity. To some, it seems easier than drawing with paints or crayons. Skillful possession of the technique allows you to create wonderful, "living" work. This skill does not come immediately, but only after long training, sketches, trial and error.

Scientists have proven that drawing is useful for the psycho-emotional sphere of both adults and children. This process relaxes, helps to distract, give a respite to the nervous system. Children develop motor skills, perseverance, the ability to concentrate, navigate in space.

Not everyone will succeed in the initial stages, however, over time, an understanding will come of how to hold a hand correctly, control pressure, feel the scale and proportions within the sheet. After six months of regular classes, it will be possible to open the first home exhibition, and thanks to the detailed step-by-step instructions on how to draw cats and cats, it will be much easier to cope with such a task.

First, let's try something very simple. We offer a master class on drawing a kitten:

• Even from school drawing lessons, everyone remembers that the body of a cat consists of simple geometric shapes. The body is oval, the head resembles a flattened circle, the ears are like triangles with rounded corners, and the tail and legs are like elongated ovals. We place them on the sheet as shown in the first picture. There is no need to make large distances between parts of the body. Otherwise, the proportions will be violated and it will be difficult to make a complete picture.
• We smoothly connect the drawn shapes (stage 2).
• We draw a muzzle and mark it out. First, the head is conventionally divided in half. The entire upper part is the cat's forehead. The lower part is divided into three more lobes. In the middle part, the nose and mouth are drawn. The eyes should be positioned so that they conditionally form a triangle with the lower border of the nose (step 3).

• Gradually replace the contour with small thick hairs, drawing short lines and making the cat fluffy, and then completely shading the body. If you want to draw a cat with a white breast, then the corresponding area remains unshaded (step 4). When drawing wool, it must be remembered that the hairs should be located in different directions.
• To make the drawing seem voluminous, it is necessary to highlight the paws, torso and head with bold arcuate strokes. The drawing direction is from the edges to the middle. Shadows should be drawn over the nose, eyebrows and on the paws. Add a mustache, a few lines on the ears, paws and tail (step 5). The cat is ready!

How to draw a portrait of a domestic cat

Using the example of a Cornish Rex sketch, you can try to draw a realistic portrait of your pet. At first glance, it seems completely incomprehensible how to draw such a super cat. However, you don't have to be a professional artist to do this. Even those who have recently started to hold a pencil in their hands can do this. Drawing includes only 5 stages.

What is useful for a portrait:

• Black pen
• Soft pencil (B2)
• Hard pencil

Stage 1:

We mark out the face and make the outline of the head and neck. We draw a vertical line that will serve as a reference point for the center of the muzzle and two horizontal lines of equal length, between which there will be eyes.

Important! The cat sits sideways and looks at an angle, so the lines should not be parallel to the edge of the sheet, and the left eye should be smaller in size than the right.

Stage 2:

We darken the eyes with a black pen or pencil, leaving room for glare.

Stage 3:

Draw hairs on the ears and above the right eye, applying strokes from the center of the muzzle. The density of the shading should be uneven and of different density.

Stage 4:

With a B2 pencil, draw the eyes in more detail. In this case, the shadow of the pupils should be darker, and the darkest place should be in the area located above the pupils. Darken the coat a little to get a smooth flow of color. Draw the mouth, nose, ears and darken the least light areas.

Step 5:

We polish the drawing, adding shadows where necessary. We draw the nose, paying attention to the shape of the nose of the animal. Draw a thin, light mustache with a hard pencil.

The portrait is ready!

The child asked to draw a kitten? Nothing is difficult, create an image in stages, and the drawing process will seem easy and interesting to you.

It is difficult for children to perceive schemes of many elements, therefore, the younger the child, the simpler the drawing and its elements should be.

In this article, we will tell you how to quickly and easily draw a kitten in stages and teach even a preschooler to do it with a pencil.

In this article, you will learn

Starting with a simple image

Various geometric shapes will come to our aid. In order to make an image of a kitten, you need to be able to draw circles and ovals, which will become the basis of the image. Thus, first we must teach children to make a head and a body, and then finish drawing the ears, eyes, tail and paws. We decide on the direction, that is, in which direction the animal is looking, there the head is made.

As you can see, everything is very simple here, even for younger children. Since we are using a pencil, it is easy to erase the lines in the neck area, forming a smooth transition and completeness of the drawing. Draw the legs and also remove the extra lines.

Difficulties can arise in creating the muzzle, as you can see, at its base is a semi-oval, which we impose on the circle, which is the basis for the head.

Be sure to use a simple pencil so that there are no extra lines left. With just two ovals, taken as a basis, we were able to draw a cute kitten. Even for young children, mastering this image will be quite simple.

How else to make a simple cat image

Perhaps you want to draw a kitten sitting upright and looking at you. This is also easy to do. First, draw the head. It will be round. For convenience, you can take a round object, such as a small glass, and circle it. It turns out a head, on top of which two triangular ears are drawn.

Now the hardest part begins, but since we do everything in stages, you and the child will quickly understand the whole process. It is necessary to draw the body of the kitten. Use smooth lines to help create the sides. Draw the tail as the last one, after which you can take paints or a felt-tip pen and give the cat the desired color.

It is also easy to draw a kitten in motion in stages, starting from the head. Only here the back elements will run horizontally. In addition, you will have to learn how to draw paws. Remember that we are using a pencil, you can take a simple solid one, and then use colored ones, tracing the picture along the contour, so the process will become even more interesting for children.

So, carefully draw the head and ears, then draw the back line to the side, smoothly turning into the hind legs. Then we finish the front paws, a lush tail, do not forget about the eyes and mustache.

As you can see, this picture, if done in stages, is quite simple, a few repetitions with children, and they will easily complete it themselves.

Perhaps you want to know how to draw a drawing of a kitten step by step, which will look like a real one. Geometry and small drawing skills will help us with this. First, we outline the main lines: it is important to maintain proportions and teach children to use tools and a ruler correctly.

Draw a circle to represent the head and outline the lines of the neck. Now, in the central part of the circle, draw two lines that will allow us to correctly and symmetrically draw the cat's face and the pattern of its fur. The next step is to draw the body, it will resemble an oval extending from the neck. Be sure to make paws on the sides of the body, they will slightly protrude beyond the contour. Thus, we can depict a kitten sitting with his back to us.

To make the drawing look like a natural one, paint over some elements with a pencil. It is necessary to gradually draw stripes on the face, as well as a mustache, then draw a drawing on the back. Don't forget about the tail. Fluffiness and naturalness can be given to it using the shading technique, or just make a few lines.

Examine several pictures of this animal with the children. Show your child the cat in a sitting position, in motion. It is helpful to tell how a cartoon character differs from a real kitten. Draw some options.

A preschooler can make an interesting gift for a brother or sister, and a parent will help to create a beautiful and original image step by step. You can use additional elements, for example, a bow.

For children, the process of creating an image itself is interesting and how, using a pencil, funny and beautiful pictures are obtained as a result.

Also, using pencil shading, we draw a cat in motion. Having learned from the previous examples, it will not be difficult to do this, it is enough to correctly arrange the parts of the body and observe the proportions.

We learned how to draw a cat, now every parent can show a preschooler how it is done easily and quickly.
