I am currently using an iPad Pro and an Apple Pencil to create my digital art.

But you can use any tool – a pen and paper or color pencils or Copic markers or Photoshop because the drawing method remains the same.

How to Draw a cute Long Cat- Step by Step for Beginners

I always start with simple shapes so that anyone can do this drawing.

First, we’re going to draw the cat’s head like this – a gentle curve.

Okay, now draw 2 small ears on each side.

Next, draw the sides of the cat’s face – one side will be shorter since the body is going to follow.

Remember to draw the eyes and mouth!

Now, draw the cat’s legs – 2 small v shapes.

Now, draw the body and a leg behind.

Next, draw the whole body – draw some fur to make your cat look more real!

Next, draw the tail.

Now, color him.

I’m going for pink since it’s still Valentine’s Week according to me.

And add some details, draw some stripes and add some blush to your little cat!

And we’re done.

Enjoy!
