Step 1: Guide shapes
Lightly sketch this oval. It only shows where the big parts go, so press softly. You will erase it at the end.
Step 2: Left end of the car
Near the bottom left, draw a curved line like the end of a bean or the back of a little car. It starts at the top, bends down around the corner, and finishes with a short flat tail at the bottom.
Step 3: Cat head and car
Draw the cat's head high up: a wide rounded shape with two pointed ears and a gentle dip between them, with the sides curving out like cheeks. Then finish the car with a curved line on the right side and a flat line along the bottom, leaving the gaps open.
Step 4: The back wheel
On the left, draw a circle that sits on the bottom of the car. Let it cover the gap in the car's bottom line.
Step 5: The front wheel
On the right side of the car, draw a second circle about the same size as the first. Try to line up the bottoms of both wheels.
Step 6: Face, paws, and sparkle
Draw two round dots for eyes and a tiny wavy smile between them. Below the chin, draw two small ovals for paws joined by a short straight line, with a small curved line at the left end. Add one little dot on the far left for a sparkle.
Step 7: Speed lines
Next to the cat's head, draw two or three short dashes on the right and one short dash on the left to show the car zooming along.
All done!
Erase the guide shapes, go over your lines, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a cat driving a car
- Draw the head wide with two pointed ears and a small dip between them. A wide head looks extra cute.
- The car's ends and bottom are drawn before the wheels, and the wheels cover the gaps in the bottom line.
- Make both wheels about the same size by tracing around a coin or bottle cap, then sit them on the bottom of the car.
- Draw the two paw ovals first, then join them with a short straight line to make the steering wheel.
