Step 1

We'll draw the head first.

Draw a circle about the size of a quarter LIGHTLY in pencil.
Next, draw an oval lightly overlapping the circle like this.

---

Step 2

Draw two eyes (ovals with dots in them for pupils) and rest them on the line going through the circle. Next, add a triangle under the eyes.

---

Step 3

Draw the letter U three times for the mouth. Draw marks at the end of the mouth for smile lines.

---

Step 4

Draw some teeth, ears, and the neck like this.

---

Step 5

Next, draw the body with 2 circles linked with curved lines.

---

Step 6

Add the legs and tail next. Use curved lines for a loose feel.

---

Step 7

Scribble in some hair, add details like whiskers, toes, and toenails.

---

Step 8

Trace the lines you want to keep with a black felt-tip pen and then erase ALL of the pencil lines. You can add a background and other characters too.

---

Now it's ready for coloring. Crayons or colored pencil work GREAT! If you drew the cat with a water soluable felt tip pen, water color or markers may cause the ink to run. At any rate, be creative and HAVE FUN!
