Funny cat drawings. How to draw cats and cats

Pictures for children about cats are a way to show a child how different this animal can be. Regardless of the breed, the affectionate Murka always evokes warm feelings in children.
Many poems, songs, fairy tales and cartoons are dedicated to pets. No less interesting are pencil drawings of cats, in which she is depicted in images for every taste.

Pictures and photos of cats, cats and kittens for children

Cats have been living alongside humans for about 10,000 years, since humans began to lead a sedentary lifestyle. These mammals are perfect solitary predators.

People quickly realized that they needed to “make friends” with cats so that they would have someone to guard food supplies that were mercilessly destroyed by rodents. They were first introduced in Ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia. In Ancient Egypt, the animal was considered sacred and symbolized fertility. Today, cats are kept as companion animals: the fluffy beauties become home decorations, and people enjoy communicating with them.

In the photo, on a white background, funny kittens are playing carefree. Not everyone knows that this is how they practice their hunting skills. Interestingly, they are one of the few in nature who kill for pleasure.

Since cats were domesticated, more than 200 breeds have been developed. Murki differ in the type, length and color of their coat. And sphinxes, for example, are completely devoid of it. In general, cat breeding is a very complex and responsible thing. Ears bent forward, like those of the British and Scottish Folds, or backwards, like those of American Curls, short legs, like those of Munchkins, etc., make the animals cute and unusual. But all these appearance features are, after all, gene mutations. At the same time, cats also inherit health problems.

Cats are very social, they communicate with each other using sounds (there are more than 100 of them in animals), pheromones and body movements.

Cool and funny photos and pictures of cats

The cat has a well-developed vestibular apparatus. That's why she always lands on her feet. During the fall, the animal deftly and quickly turns so that its head, belly and tail are parallel to the ground. It lands on soft paws, which absorbs the impact on the ground.

It's funny to look at pictures for children where a cat steals food. They do this when they are hungry, or simply out of curiosity. There is no need to scold your pet for such pampering. It’s better to train yourself to immediately clear everything from the table after eating.

It happens like this: you hear a suspicious sound from the kitchen, you walk in, and the cat is on the table. Why does he always climb there? Remnants of predator instincts force the pet to climb higher in order to have a good view.

All cats generally love to watch what is happening around them from above. Cats are so cool when they sit on fences, cabinets or shelves.

Children and adults admire the video of how deftly a tiger or leopard hunts: they track their prey and, bending low to the ground, creep up to it as close as possible to make the final dash. Domestic cats are no less skillful than their predatory counterparts!

Every child knows about cats and dogs that they are sworn enemies. Animals literally speak different languages: what for a cat is a gesture of carelessness and relaxation, dogs perceive as aggression. But if the owners try, kittens and puppies can coexist peacefully under one roof and become friends. Videos and pictures of such strange four-legged friends are now not uncommon.

Cat with kittens, cat with kittens, family

A cat gives birth to from 1 to 8 kittens, on average there are 5-6 of them. The mother immediately begins to care for the babies, who remain deaf and blind for up to 2 weeks: she feeds them, licks them, and carries them in her teeth in case of danger.

A good mother - a cat and kittens are inseparable. She leaves them for short periods of time when absolutely necessary. She teaches them the rules of hygiene.

Kitten plays with a ball, sits on a tree, sleeps

Newborn babies feed on the milk of their mother cat, but after a month they must begin to be taught to eat from a bowl. Kittens are so cute when they lap up milk!

At the age of three weeks, kittens become very playful. Children who have ever had such a “kindergarten” at home are very lucky to watch kittens run, jump and tumble, play with balls and hunt for a teaser stick. Others can see it in photos or pictures.

Thanks to the presence of sharp claws, murchiki climb trees very deftly. But sometimes they have problems with the descent. The fact that firefighters removed the mustachioed and striped one from the top of the poplar is not a fairy tale at all.

Watching a sleeping kitten is a great pleasure. In a dream, a baby can take the most intricate poses. The photo shows how funny cats sleep with their paws up, or comfortably nestled in their owner’s shoe.

Drawn cats: pencil drawings, Cheshire cat

The drawn cats are kind and funny. Artists try to convey the softness of their fur and graceful movements. Some even manage to draw the smile of a Cheshire cat with a pencil.

Funny pictures of cats depict animals with a bow on their neck, a mouse and a colorful butterfly.

Cartoon cat. Guess the cartoon from the picture

The photo of cartoon cats with answers depicts the heroes of the child’s favorite stories: the famous storyteller - the scientist cat A.S. Pushkin, the good-natured cat Leopold, the resourceful cat Matroskin from Prostakvashino, the charming puss in boots from Shrek. Is there a cartoon cat in the images that the baby has not yet met? Perhaps he will watch a new cartoon tonight.

How to draw a cat with a pencil step by step: for children and beginners

Pictures of pets are one of the first that a baby learns to make. If he has a saffron milk cap or a striped whale at home, or he really wants to get one, the child will definitely ask how to draw pictures of cats with a pencil. Simple diagrams on how to draw a cat for children will help you do this with just a few hand movements. And the child can choose any color of fur for his drawn pet.

Rhymes and videos for kindergarten and primary school children

Watching your pet and preparing a story about it for a lesson at school or a lesson in kindergarten is a simple task for children who know interesting facts about cats. You can supplement your story with a poem or a picture drawn in pencil.

Children's short rhymes

The cat often becomes the hero of children's nursery rhymes, as, for example, in “The Little Gray Kitty.”

It will be very easy for kids to guess the purr by their habits and taste preferences.

Video for children

A. Krylov appropriated the cunning and love of stealing food, inherent in many cats, to the character of his nursery rhyme.

In the fairy tale “The Cat, the Rooster and the Fox,” the mustachioed tabby is a positive character who managed to trick even the cunning fox and protect the rooster from it.

Cool video with cats

Cats are the most sought-after image in fine art. Purring deities were the favorite models of the Egyptians, and agile hunting cats were the favorite models of the Renaissance masters.

Modern artists also have not ignored charming animals, devoting entire series of paintings to them. Let's keep up with the times - learn to draw cats, cats and kittens.

If your young talent is under 5 years old, do not demand from him a drawing that amazes with the accuracy of its details. Each child's age has its own characteristics of recreating an artistic image on a sheet of paper. By rushing things, you risk destroying the Artist who lives in your child

And one more piece of advice: pay attention to the color schemes that your young talent chooses. To an attentive observer, the color scheme of a child's drawing can tell a lot about the artist's inner world.

How to draw a cat with a pencil step by step?

In the previous article about that, you became familiar with the basic principles of drawing animals.

Let's recall some of them:

Whatever drawing you try to draw, it will consist of basic shapes

rectangle
square
circle
oval
triangle

Accordingly, before you start depicting anything, you need to learn how to correctly draw basic shapes.

Be sure to focus the young artist’s attention on the size ratio or proportions of individual parts of the animal’s body. The child must realize that the animal’s head is smaller than the body
Start drawing a cat from the head. Look closely at the model animal and determine the shape of its head. To make the task easier, imagine the head of an animal without ears and hair. In this way, try to determine the proportions and basic shapes of the animal’s body.

How to draw a cat from circles?

This is perhaps the easiest way to draw a cat:

sketch a couple of proportional circles. The approximate ratio of the small and large circle is 1:2. This means that the diameter of the small circle is 2 times less than the diameter of the large circle
add ears and tail
draw the details of the muzzle (in the first version of the drawing)

And here on the drawing sheet two pussies are dozing

Do round crampons seem too light for you? Take your skill to the next level: try imitating a sitting cat

How to draw a sitting cat (frontal view)#1?

First, draw a circle that will become a sketch of the animal's head.
The basic body shape of a sitting cat is oval

The proportions of the oval are as follows:

along the vertical axis, the oval should be slightly larger than twice the size of the head
along the horizontal axis, the width of the cat’s body is slightly less than twice the size of the head

When combining the basic shapes for the head and torso, keep in mind that they overlap each other slightly

Then, focusing on the diagram and the vertical axis of the oval, draw the front and hind legs, ears of the animal

Taking into account the auxiliary lines and the main axes of the sketch, draw the nose, mouth, eyes, mustache
Combine the auxiliary lines into an overall drawing and color it

How to draw a sitting cat (frontal view) #2?

The second method of drawing is somewhat different from generally accepted techniques. Perhaps this option is suitable for playing fun associations

For ease of drawing, be sure to draw the vertical axis of symmetry of the future drawing. Draw a heart, which will become a sketch of the lower body of a sitting cat.
Draw a small circle overlaying it on the top of the heart. Draw another circle on top. The diameter of the second circle should be larger than that of the first. The circles also overlap each other. At the top of the large circle, draw two identical ovals. These will be the cat's eyes
Focusing on the vertical axis of the drawing, draw two arrows, placing them symmetrically on the cat’s head. This will give your purr ears. The small triangle will become the nose. The conventional letter “T” with an elongated vertical line will serve as the line of the front paws
Draw the number "3" as a sketch for the pads of the front paws
The symmetrically drawn “3”, placed upside down, will become the hind legs of the sitting animal. The letters "E" will turn into wonderful mustaches
Draw two curved lines on both sides of the conditional vertical axis of symmetry. The lines should resemble "?". The rounded part of the line coincides with the line of the small circle. The line ends at the intersection with the line of the pads of the front paws. This will give your cat a ribcage and front legs. Don't forget to draw the animal's fingers using "s"
Combine all the auxiliary lines of the sketch into the main drawing and you will see a charming cat

How to draw a sitting cat (profile)?

Study the step-by-step drawing diagram below and you will succeed.

How to draw a cat sitting sideways with its head turned?

This scheme is a little more complicated, but difficulties cannot stop a real artist

It all starts with an oval (head) and a circle (body)

Draw auxiliary lines, draw triangles-ears

Focusing on the auxiliary lines, draw the details of the cat's face

Soften the line of the ears a little by drawing slightly curved lines. A broken, curved line drawn around the head imitates the fur of an animal.

Taking into account the location of the auxiliary lines, draw the front left paw of the animal, the line of the back and the neck

Draw the tail and the tucked back left paw of the animal. Don't forget to draw the cat's front right paw

Draw the cat's paws. Erase the auxiliary lines and draw the main lines of the drawing

Color the drawing as you wish

How to draw a cat's head step by step?

Draw an auxiliary shape - a circle. Mark the conditional lines: the vertical axis and two parallel lines running symmetrically to the horizontal axis.

Then draw the arcs of the eyes, focusing on the auxiliary lines. Draw a narrow cat's pupil. Don't forget about glare.
Be sure to sketch out the vibrissae (hairs above the eyes), without which the cat portrait will lose its charm.
Using the heart shape as a base, sketch out the cat's nose. Consider the location of the auxiliary lines!
At the bottom of the circle, draw two small arcs that will become the cat's cheeks. Draw a mouth under the arched cheeks.

Shade the corners of your eyes. Taking into account the location of the auxiliary lines, outline the head of the animal. Applying additional round and triangular shapes will greatly simplify the task.

Shade the animal's ears, and sketch out the lines of the neck.

And be sure to draw a mustache! A real cat has twelve hairs on each cheek. But when drawing, such details can be neglected.

Color the drawing. Don't forget about shadows, which add volume to the image.

Video: How to learn to simply draw a Cat?

Parents are faced with a child’s request to draw a cat, regardless of his age. Little ones want to get a coloring page in the form of a wise Puss in Boots, a mischievous redhead from Shrek or another character from their favorite cartoon, and older children ask for help in completing school assignments.

Instructions on how to draw cats step by step will help novice artists create their first masterpieces. It is better to start with simple images, and only then move on to more complex ones.

Funny cats will appeal to kids. Quick, contour sketches will entertain a child in line or while traveling in public transport. In addition, believability, color brightness or shadow depth do not matter in this case. We offer some simple examples of how to draw a cat:

Option 1:

In order to depict such a funny animal from geometric shapes you will need a sheet of paper, a pencil or pen, an eraser and just a couple of minutes of time.

First you need to draw a trapezoid and conditionally mark the middle (stage 1 and 2). Then the ears and paws are drawn (stage 3 and 4), and the excess is erased with an eraser. At the fifth stage, the pupils, nose, mouth and long mustache are made. Claws are drawn on the paws. The cat is ready. All that remains is to color it.

Option 2:

The technique of drawing such a cartoon cat is also quite simple. First, the main zones are marked: head, torso, legs and tail. Then the details are drawn: ears, muzzle, claws, hair on the tail. During the final stage, all unnecessary lines are erased and clarity is added to the drawing.

How to draw a cat using pencil technique

Pencil graphics are loved by many artists for the absence of unnecessary details, for their clarity and simplicity. Some people find it simpler than drawing with paints or crayons. Skillful use of technology allows you to create wonderful, “live” works. This skill does not come immediately, but only after long training, drawings, trial and error.

Scientists have proven that drawing is useful for the psycho-emotional sphere of both adults and children. This process relaxes, helps to distract yourself, and gives a break to the nervous system. Children develop motor skills, perseverance, the ability to concentrate, and navigate in space.

Not everyone will succeed in the initial stages, but over time they will understand how to hold their hand correctly, control the pressure, feel the scale and proportions within the sheet. After six months of regular classes, you will be able to open your first home exhibition, and thanks to detailed step-by-step instructions on how to draw cats, it will be much easier to cope with this task.

First, let's try something very simple. We offer a master class on drawing a kitten:

Stages 1-3

Everyone remembers from school drawing lessons that a cat’s body consists of simple geometric shapes. The body is oval, the head resembles a flattened circle, the ears resemble triangles with rounded corners, and the tail and paws resemble elongated ovals. We place them on the sheet as shown in the first picture. There is no need to make large distances between body parts. Otherwise, the proportions will be disrupted and it will be difficult to make a complete picture.
Smoothly connect the drawn figures (stage 2).
Draw a face and mark it. First, the head is conditionally divided in half. The entire upper part is the cat's forehead. The lower part is divided into three more lobes. In the middle part the nose and mouth are drawn. The eyes should be positioned so that they form a triangle with the lower border of the nose (step 3).

Stage 4-5

We gradually replace the outline with small thick hairs, drawing short lines and making the cat fluffy, and then completely shade the body. If you want to draw a cat with a white chest, then the corresponding area remains unshaded (step 4). When drawing fur, you must remember that the hairs should be located in different directions.
To make the drawing seem voluminous, it is necessary to highlight the paws, torso and head with bold, arched strokes. The drawing direction is from the edges to the middle. You need to draw shadows above the nose, eyebrows and on the paws. Add a mustache, a few lines on the ears, paws and tail (step 5). The cat is ready!

Examples of drawings

In tutorials and the Internet you can find many master classes on how to draw a cat yourself. We offer several drawings of cats for sketching:

How to draw a portrait of a domestic cat

Using the sketch of a Cornish Rex as an example, you can try to draw a realistic portrait of your pet. At first glance, it seems completely incomprehensible how to draw such a super cat. However, you don't have to be a professional artist to do this. Even those who have recently started holding a pencil in their hands can do this. Drawing includes only 5 stages.

What you need for a portrait:

Black pen
Soft pencil (B2)
Hard pencil

Stage 1:

We mark the muzzle and make the outline of the head and neck. We draw a vertical line that will serve as a guide for the center of the muzzle and two horizontal lines of the same length, between which there will be eyes.

Important! The cat sits sideways and looks at an angle, so the lines should not be parallel to the edge of the sheet, and the left eye should be smaller in size than the right.

Stage 2:

Darken the eyes with a black pen or pencil, leaving room for highlights.

Stage 4:

Using pencil B2 we draw the eyes in more detail. In this case, the shadow of the pupils should be darker, and the darkest place is in the area located above the pupils. We darken the wool a little to create a smooth flow of color. Draw the mouth, nose, ears and darken the least light areas.

Stage 5:

We polish the drawing, adding shadows where necessary. Draw the nose, paying attention to the shape of the bridge of the animal’s nose. Using a hard pencil, draw a thin, light mustache.

The portrait is ready!

Cats are one of the cutest creatures on our planet :) They are loved even if they just lie on the couch all day and do nothing. Today we will figure out how to draw cats for children.

The examples for drawing will be varied, cats for very young children, cats for children about eight years old and cats for older children. And adults sometimes draw the same cats, because they look beautiful despite the simplicity of the drawing :)

There are a lot of cats in this lesson, so we have made two contents for you.

Drawing a cat for children 7 years old

A 7-8 year old child can draw this cat. It is much easier to draw than our other examples.

Stage 1
Let's start drawing from the head. Draw a head similar to Batman's head :) An oval with ears.

Stage 2
Draw the face with simple lines. Closed satisfied eyes, nose and mouth. Also, draw the ears with sharp lines, which will indicate the fur.

Stage 3
At the third stage, we draw long antennae and draw the front legs.

Stage 4
Now we draw the second part of the body. Since this is a child’s drawing of a cat, we don’t need perfect proportions. We draw the back, paws and, accordingly, the tail.

Stage 5
We admire the cat we have made :) Color it, for example, yellow, blue or green :)

Learn to draw a sitting cat

This example is suitable for an 8 year old child. He will surely cope with such a tiger :)
In this example, our tailed one will have an unusual coloring; it will be a tiger-cat!

Stage 1
At the first stage, we will analyze two simple steps at once :)
First we draw an oval. Did you draw it? Great! Now at the bottom of the oval you need to draw the face of our cat.

Stage 2
We draw the ears and make a stroke inside them with sharp lines. As mentioned earlier, we are drawing a tiger cat :) Therefore, we need to draw three lines on three different sides of the face.

On the left and right sides the lines will be the same, but on the top side the lines will be a little longer.

Stage 3
In the second step, we have finished drawing the head and now we begin to draw the body of our sitting tiger. We draw the chest, front leg and back.

Stage 4
Now we draw the second front paw; some part of this paw is overlapped by the first paw, since it is closer to us.

Draw the hind leg. The back paw is much more difficult to draw than it looks, so don't press too hard on your pencil. You may have to wash out the not-so-pretty foot and redraw it.

Stage 5
At the fifth stage, we draw stripes on the paws and thicker stripes on the back. Draw a tail and make stripes on it.

Stage 6
Coloring:3

It is not necessary to draw it to look like a tiger; if you erase all the stripes and choose a different color, you will get a regular cat, not a tiger.

An example of drawing a cat for a 9 year old child

At first glance, this cat seems very complex and it may seem that it would be difficult for a child to draw it, but this is not at all the case. Thanks to step-by-step examples, you will understand that drawing it is very simple. Let's get started!

Stage 1
As you may have noticed in the picture above, our cat is in such a position that her front legs are standing, but at the same time she is sitting on her hind legs. That is why her figure turns out to be elongated and that is why we draw three circles that are connected by lines.

The topmost circle must be divided as shown in the figure. This is needed for the future muzzle. Don't press too hard on the pencil because most of the lines are auxiliary and will be erased.

Stage 2
At the second stage, we draw the ears and draw the muzzle. We connect two circles with two lines to make a neck. We also sketch out the tail and left paw of the cat.

Stage 3
The third is the most difficult stage. Here we draw the paws and tail. It's hard to describe how to draw paws and a tail correctly, so just look at the picture below and try to draw something similar.

Draw the muzzle and connect the lower part of the body and the upper part with lines.

Stage 4
The simplest and most enjoyable stage :) Draw antennae and stripes on the paws.

Stage 5
At the last stage, we erase all our auxiliary lines and our cat is ready.

If you want, you can paint it in your favorite color;)

Drawing a sleeping cat

How to draw a sleeping cat for children? Very simple! It is drawn in just 6 steps and can be completed by a child of about 9 years old. Let's begin!

Stage 1
In the first step of our second cat in the cat drawing lesson for kids, we draw a circle :) This will be the cat's head. Then we divide the circle in half vertically and slightly below the center horizontally.

Stage 2
Let's detail our circle. Draw the eyes, nose and mouth. In our example, the eyes are closed with pleasure:3 But you can draw them open, although if you remember that we are drawing a sleeping cat, then open eyes would be inappropriate here.

Stage 3
Draw the face. Try to draw it symmetrical, and draw ruffled fur at the top center.

Stage 4
Now is one of the most difficult stages, but you will definitely cope!

You need to draw a smooth line of the body, which will imperceptibly flow into the tail. The line must necessarily rise above our cat’s head, and then smoothly become lower and turn into a tail.

Stage 5
We are finishing the finishing touches. Draw one front paw; it will be slightly visible behind the tail. We draw a mustache, the tip of the tail and, in some places, folds.

Stage 6
Erase the auxiliary lines and, if desired, color the sleeping cat.

How to draw a cute cat for children?

This cat is not the easiest cat for a child to draw, and it doesn’t look much like a cat, but this creature is very cute. This cat looks a bit like an anime cat, with huge eyes and an unusual body shape.

Stage 1
Draw a circle, divide it vertically in the center and vertically just below the center. Under this circle we draw an oval, a little smaller in size.

Stage 2
The second stage is more difficult than the first; you need to detail the head. Draw the ears and draw a large circle with lines that will make the head.

Stage 3
Let's draw huge eyes! The larger the eyes, the cuter the cat will be: 3 Draw the eyebrows and mouth. In our example, we did not draw the nose, but if you really want to draw it, then you, of course, can do it.

Stage 4
The fourth is not a very difficult stage. Let's draw the two front legs, try to draw them not too thin, because we will have a plump cat.

Stage 5
Draw the body of the cat a little wider than the previously outlined oval and draw a tail.

Stage 6
Well, at the last stage, we erase all the auxiliary lines and, if desired, color our cute cat.
