Step 1: Head and ears
Start at the left cheek and draw a curve up to a pointy triangle ear. Dip down a little, draw the second pointy ear, then curve down the right cheek. Leave the bottom of the head open for now.
Step 2: Back and tail
Start behind the right side of the head and draw a big hill-shaped curve for the back. Let it slide down and sweep out into a long curvy tail with a round tip.
Step 3: Chest and front paw
Start under the left cheek and draw a long curve going down for the chest. Finish it with a little round paw at the bottom.
Step 4: Second front leg
Next to the first leg, draw a short curve for the start of the belly. Then draw a second leg going down from it, with a rounded paw at the bottom.
Step 5: Belly and back legs
Draw a gentle belly curve that joins the front legs to the back. Then add two chubby back legs with round paws, one a little behind the other, and close the tail's inner edge.
Step 6: Round eyes
Fill in two big round dots for eyes, side by side in the middle of the face. Keep them the same size and at the same height.
Step 7: Tiny mouth
Between the eyes and a little lower, draw a tiny wavy line, like a small squiggly w.
Step 8: Whiskers
On each side of the face, draw two or three short lines that fan out. Let them stick out past the cheeks.
All done!
Go over your lines with a marker, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a bengal cat
- Draw the head first and keep it wide, because a roomy head is what makes this cat look cute.
- The tail is the trickiest part. Draw it in one slow, smooth stroke and finish it with a round tip.
- Draw the legs short and chubby, and let the second front leg sit right next to the first so the cat looks like it is standing.
