The cat's face is highly appreciated by all lovers of the species - it is well proportioned, mustachioed and seductive. Drawing your cat's face will be a unique experience, but not unrepeatable. You will discover, in fact, the desire to always want to do better and to represent it in a different way every time. However, you have to start somewhere. This guide will give you great tips for learning how to draw your cat's face.
Steps
Step 1. Draw a circle with a cross
The cross must be turned in the direction in which the cat is oriented.
Step 2. Add two curves for the neck and join them to the head
Step 3. Draw two triangles at the top of the head for the ears
The triangles can be straight, bent, or pointed down. Avoid drawing fluffy ears, which are a unique feature of dogs.
Step 4. Draw a small triangle for the nose where all the lines of the face intersect
Then, slightly below, draw a slight inverted "3" for the mouth.
Step 5. Finally, above the midline, draw the eyes
The eyes should be turned in the direction of the intersecting curves.
Step 6. Now refine the face
Draw the fur around and on the cat's head.
Step 7. Next, take a black marker or a non-smudge pen
Trace the outline of the cat's head, ears and neck. Trace the eyes, nose and mouth. Then, erase all the pencil marks with an eraser. You can also decide to color the cat, inspired by the myriad of colors and shades of its fur.
Step 8. Finished
