How to Draw a Cute Anime Cat
- Draw the circle.
The first step is to draw the shape of the head, so we start drawing the round shape, which will be the head in our sketch.
- Eyes and mouth.
Our cat, as you can see, is very cheerful, so you need to depict his big joyful eyes, and first, this is done by drawing two circles, respectively, these are the shapes of the eyes. After that, following the example from step, draw the cat’s mouth, which also expresses the joyful emotions of the cat.
- Details of the face.
Seals come in different colors, in our example the cat is tricolor, and the cat’s face is divided into two parts by color. It is this separation that needs to be depicted in this step, and in the example, in blue it is shown in detail how this needs to be done. Also draw the nose of the cat, following the example of cats already have small cute noses, and in manga drawings, they look especially cute.
- Pupils and teeth.
In anime, it is typical to draw large expressive pupils, so this is exactly what you will need to portray this cat on the face. And also our cat has cute cat stripes on the sides of the nose, which are somewhat similar to the stripes of a tiger. Also draw the cat’s teeth, which are also shown in this example.
- Ears.
The cat has huge ears, and I think you noticed it perfectly. Start drawing the cat’s ears, and take into account the proportions that visually show one ear closer than the far one. In addition to the ears, you need to draw the first paw of the cat.
- Draw the body of the cat.
Start this step by drawing the inner parts of the cat’s ears, which are shown in blue in this example. And also you need to depict the body of the cat, which is also shown by us in the example in blue. You can draw with a pencil so that you can draw a line through the cat’s paw, but then erase the line that intersects with the paw because this is a guideline.
- The rest of the cat’s legs.
You have already drawn the body of the cat, now draw the line that is shown in the example on the back of the cat, these are its colors on the body of the cat. You also need to draw the rest of the cat’s legs, and start with the cat’s front leg, and then draw the last hind leg. The fourth paw of the cat will visually be behind the cat, so it will not be visible on the sketch.
- Draw the cat’s tail and details.
First, draw the cat’s tail that sticks out straight up. In addition to the tail, you need to depict the separation of the legs, which are shown in blue in the example. And also draw a cat’s whiskers, because cats cannot be without their cute whisker antennae.
- Cat fur.
Different cats have different types of wool and the color of their fur, our cat will consist of three colors—these are white, gray, and black. In this step, you need to depict these feline details of their fur, then paint over these stripes in black.
- Color the anime cat.
Almost finished drawing the anime cat, now you need to paint the cat in the appropriate colors using your favorite coloring accessories. If you do not want to paint the cat in the colors that we painted over the cat, then paint in any other colors. Also, note that the cat’s eyes are shiny, so when you paint the cat’s pupils black, do not forget to leave this detailed white.
