How to draw CATS - Step by Step Art Tutorial

Learn how to draw a cat from any angle, with any tools! This is the first video of my series of tutorials about house cats. The following videos explain how to draw kittens, different cat breeds, various emotions and typical poses. Check out the playlist here:

I hope you're gonna like it! It's my first short comic ever! Well... the first after more than 15 years or so, when I was still a kid.

PLEASE READ THIS PINNED COMMENT!
I made several, essential mistakes on the first drawing: The neck and spine are too long. The cheeks are a little bit too wide. The shoulders don't go far enough back.
The drawings in the other videos in my cat tutorial series are more accurate.
Also, I am sorry that the beginning is too far zoomed out to see clearly what I'm doing, and that I used a bright orange for sketching, which is hard to see on the white background. The grid made it harder to see the details as well. And the music is a bit too loud.
I'm deeply sorry for all of that... My later videos have none of these issues. This video taught me to additionally use prepared sketches for better-looking and more accurate results. I always properly zoom in on what I'm drawing, and use colors for sketching that are much easier to see.


This is the best way to point out these mistakes. YouTube unfortunately removed the ability to add text notes in the videos a while ago.
Even though this video has all these issues, I still think that it can be potentially useful. Therefore, as long as I point out these mistakes, I would say that it is still valid to be called a "tutorial". Also, something like a "perfect" tutorial doesn't exist anyways, and I never said that the techniques and knowledge I present in my videos are absolute. I clearly stated in my channel description that the purpose of these videos is to share what I learned from my studies and practices. Even after all these years, I am still a student, and I always will be.
I want to remake it, but that I would only consider doing that in a couple of years. Making these tutorial videos takes a lot of time and effort after all, and there are plenty of other topics I want to focus on too.

His voice: calm and relaxing
Some artists : HELLO GUYS IMMA SHOW HOW TO DRAW A CAT.

You are underrated! As an artist that doesn't know how to draw cats but has like 4 cats this was so helpful!

[Steamedcatfish]

4 years later and this video is still helping! I cant find good tutorials to teach me how to draw cats, but your going in depth with this telling me why your drawing certain things. What made it really helpful and unique is that you went into depth about a cats skeleton and how its works.

I draw my friend's cats a lot based on photo reference. The tip about the skin connecting to the knee is good. I always notice you can't really see their thigh, which makes intuiting their anatomy hard.

I forgot how I became a subscriber, but I am so happy I am.
I have been struggling with cats, (all animals really), and this was unbelievably helpful!
Thank you much!! ❤️🌼

I watched this on a lonely day in lockdown (2021) and you warmed my heart with your information, your calm manner, your soothing voice and your clear love of cats. Fantastic.

[hapyplaysroblox]

Bro, this dude's voice is so calming. I actually listened to his words unlike other youtubers. W VID

[anjapinkau]

Excellent tutorial! I was looking for a genuine tutorial with systematic explanations. Not a video with some artist who just shows how he draws a cat, and the explanations are invariably "like so". So: Thank you for your actually informative tutorial! You've got yourself a new subscriber. And I've seen that you've got some more cat tutorials (poses, emotions). Looking forward to watching them!

[peachyyunnie]

really good explanations, interesting fun fatcs ; and my drawing still looks scary XD

[stefi]

Great tutorial! You made the anatomy very understandable and explained it very well!

[abhilasha]

This was the calmest, most beautiful and well explained tutorial I have ever seen. I could listen to you teach all day!

[spaghettisoup]

Thanks! It’s very hard to find someone who can throughly explain something and how it works, without making you feel rushed and making you pause every five seconds to process something. You made it a lot simpler for some of us and I really thank you!

[movedtokloosh]

Omg you’re amazing! THIS IS THE FIRST VID I WATCHED FROM YOU AND I IMMEDIATELY SUBBED

[SolomonKeenan]

I dont see how you have so few likes. This is the best and simply most accurate tutorial I've ever seen! I hope you go far, and keep up this great work!

[skellablue]

As an owner of 3 cats, this was very cool to see how you used studies on cats to draw this. Your voice is so peaceful too.

[UnseenIvy]

This is absolutely fantastic! It was well worth the wait ~! I'm really excited you are back uploading and I can't wait to see more videos!

Also your comic is adorable <3

Cats used the 'extra' or nub claw on their upper leg, called a dewclaw for hunting. it's like extra grip.

[lemonywolf]

I've never been able to draw animals that great so i'm going to try this tutorial! i will make an edit.

[BookTokatitsfinest]

Thank you so much! Not only did u teach us how to draw a cat but also it’s proportions and how to use them to draw different poses! So many other videos didn’t do this and only did one pose!
