How to Draw Cat Eyes Step 01

1. Begin by sketching the first eye. First, draw a half circle. Draw a curved line across the top of it. Connect one end of the curved line to the circle using a short line, enclosing the pointed inner corner of the eye. Draw a few small lines at the opposite corner. Next, draw two curved lines within the eye, enclosing a curved triangular shape. This form's the cat's pupil. Finally, draw a small oval within the pupil.

The term "cat eyes" has entered popular culture as more than just the cat's means of sight.
