Sitting Cat step-by-step drawing tutorial: step 01

1. Begin drawing your sitting cat outline by drawing the cat's face. For the cat's eyes, use curved lines to nearly enclose round shapes that are pointed on each end.

Notice that the lines don't quite meet at the corners of the eyes. Draw a short line from each corner. Then, trace the kitty's rounded triangular nose.

A sitting cat is often a cozy symbol - especially if the cat is sitting in your lap, on a windowsill, or by the fireplace.

It's no wonder we associate cats with homey scenes, as they have shared our dwellings for thousands of years.

It is thought that small wild cats were attracted to human settlements by mice and rats. These, in turn, were attracted by the grains and other food items humans stored.

Humans and cats formed a symbiotic relationship - the cats got fed, and we had fewer pests to deal with.

Cats are also considered symbols of rebirth due to the myth that they have nine lives; darkness and magic, due to their nocturnal habits; and independence, due to their solitary nature.
