How to draw a cat cartoon character

Learning how to draw a fun, energetic cartoon cat running, made easier when you break it down into simple, hidden shapes. As the guide demonstrates, cartoons are built up step-by-step starting with basic geometric outlines for the body and head. By first sketching a kidney shape for the torso, adding overlapping shapes for the nose and triangular ears, and then carefully constructing the dynamic legs and flowing tail, you can bring a cheerful cat to life before adding final details, shading, and colour.

Cartoon animation of cat running

If animating the cat cartoon, notice the main body shape will rock from end to end, the tail will flop up and down and trail behind. You could show the cat blinking from time to time. Notice the the front legs reach out and retract as the charactre moves forward and the rear hind legs do all the pushing. Also, if you want to include a shadow, notice it changes size as the cat jumps up and drops down.
