Please PAUSE the "How to Draw a Cat (Cartoon)" video after each step to draw at your own pace.

For the first few steps, don't press down too hard with your pencil. Use light, smooth strokes to begin.

Step 1: Draw two curved lines next to each other for the cartoon kitten's eyes. Make the lines thick to represent eyelashes. The shape of the curved lines should be similar to a half-circle. Pay attention to where the lines are. Don't place them too close together.

Step 2: Under each line, draw a small circle for the irises. The circle on the left should be close to the right tip of the line. The circle on the right should be closer to the middle of the line. Above each eye, draw a small curved line for the cat's eyebrows.

Step 3: Inside each iris, off to the side, draw a tiny circle to represent glare. In the middle of each iris, draw a big dot for the cartoon kitten's pupils.

Step 4: Near the lower, right side of the eye on the left, draw a small triangle for the nose.

Step 5: Below the kitten's nose, draw a small W-shaped line for the mouth. Below the mouth, draw a tiny curved line for the chin.
