🐱🎀 How to Draw a Kawaii Cat – Step-by-Step Instructions (Colored Style)

✏️ Step 1: Draw the Head

  • Start by sketching a big rounded square or oval for the head.
  • Keep the edges soft and slightly curved — kawaii style is all about cuteness and simplicity!

✏️ Step 2: Add the Ears

  • Draw two triangular ears on top of the head.
  • Make the tips slightly rounded, and draw small inner triangles inside for the inner ears.

✏️ Step 3: Draw the Face

  • Add two large round eyes, spaced out on the face.
  • Draw a small “w” or “3” shaped mouth between the eyes.
  • Add blush spots (soft pink ovals or circles) on each cheek to boost the cute factor.

✏️ Step 4: Sketch the Body and Front Paws

  • Under the head, draw a small U-shaped body.
  • Add two small front paws that rest slightly in front of the body.
  • The paws can just be small rounded bumps with minimal detail.

✏️ Step 5: Add the Tail and Feet

  • Draw a thick curved tail extending from one side of the body, curling slightly upward.
  • Add two small hind paws visible beneath the body (simple ovals or curves).

✏️ Step 6: Add Accessories and Final Touches

  • Draw a cute pink bow either under the neck or on top of the head (your choice!).
  • Use soft pastel colors:
    • Fur: Light cream or off-white
    • Cheeks: Soft pink
    • Eyes: Black with a little white highlight
    • Bow: Pink or lavender
