Do you know what’s the most important thing about having a cat? Being able to pay homage to your kitty. Pets are smart. Especially cats, they know we have to serve them…OK, I’m kidding. We love our pets of course!!! Do start the kiddos young and teach them how to draw Overlord king (or queen) kitty cat 🙂 In this super-duper simple, we’re going to draw a cartoon-style tabby, chubby, orange cat.

This tutorial and our many others are suitable for ages 3 to 8. Check out our collection of free coloring pages for little kids! See the cute Christmas-themed coloring gallery!

🖍️ Tools For Success

Paper (Our Free How To Draw Template PDF)
Pencil
Polymer Eraser
Outline Markers
Coloring Tools (I recommend Crayola’s 140 Piece Coloring Case)

🎨 Parents: The only tools you need to use these how-to-draw tutorials are: an eraser, a pencil, and a piece of paper. But – if you have them around – a sketching pencil makes for fainter and softer lines that help kids build fine motor accuracy. I also recommend going over the sketch pencil with a black outline marker when you’re done for a neater finish. Lastly, erase the pencil marks before adding color.

Step-by-Step Tutorial on How to Draw a Cat

Cartoon cats’ faces and bodies are commonly round and stout (I’m channeling Garfield.) So let’s start drawing an oval-shaped face with two small circular eyes inside and parallel to each other.
Cats are easily distinguished with their facial features, so let’s add more details. In the middle of your cat’s eyes, draw an inverted triangular nose with two adjacent lines below the nose, each facing the opposite direction.
Besides eyes, nose, and mouth, cats also have ears and whiskers. On the face’s top-sides, draw two triangles opposing each other with one smaller triangle inside each.
Next, draw three horizontal lines parallel to each other on each side of the cat’s face. These lines are the whiskers, so allow them to overlap the face.
I like cats when their body is fluffy, so draw a bigger oval than the head with two curve lines for their feet.
Don’t forget to add another two in between them to complete your cat’s set of feet.
Cat’s tails are very sensitive and expressive, so draw an enclosed s-shaped curve line pointing upward, making the cat look excited.
My fluffy cat looks like Garfield in its orangey color. You can choose your cat’s color and breed too!
