How to Draw a Cute Christmas Cat

1. Begin the cute Christmas cat outline by drawing the cat’s eyes. Use curved lines to sketch the half-circle shapes, noting the short line that extends beyond the corner of each eye. Enclose three small circles within each eye and shade between them, forming the pupil.

2. Begin outlining the cat’s head. Use overlapping curved lines to form the top of the head, the triangular ear, and the side of the face. Then, continue to add detail to the face. Draw the mushroom-shaped nose, and use curved lines to contour above the nose and to draw the mouth and chin.

3. Detail inside the ear using a zigzag line. Then, continue to the top of the head with a slanting line. Allow another line to meet it at a point. This outlines the bottom of the cat’s hat. Detail around the eyes with short lines, and draw dots on each side of the nose to indicate the whiskers.

4. Draw the Santa hat. Use curved lines to outline the brim of the hat, its bent triangular top, and the circle that represents the pompom at the end.

5. Draw a bow tie around the cat’s neck. Use a circle for the center, then enclose rounded triangles on each side. Extend two sets of lines below the bow, and connect each set with a “V” shaped line. Contour the material of the bow with curved lines. Then, extend a line from the head to form the cat’s back.

6. Draw the cat’s leg and paw. Use overlapping curved lines to draw the leg - noting the bend of the elbow, the paw, its toes, and the side of the chest.

7. Draw the remaining foreleg. Again, using overlapping curved lines to sketch the leg, paw, and toes.

8. Use a curved line to draw the rear leg, with overlapping curved lines forming the paw and toes. Texture the fur with additional curved lines. Then, draw a partial circle beneath one front paw. This will become a Christmas tree ornament.

9. Complete your cute Christmas cat outline by enclosing a second circle. Use a short line to form the hanger on the first ornament. Finally, extend two curved lines from the cat’s back and allow them to meet at a point, forming the tail.
