Step 1: Guide shapes
Lightly sketch these 2 ovals. They only show where the big parts go, so press softly. You will erase them at the end.
Step 2: The head and ears
Draw a big wide head that dips in a soft curve across the top and rounds out into a bowl shape at the bottom. Add a pointy triangle ear at each top corner.
Step 3: The body
Under the head, draw the two sides of a rounded body. Start each side just below the cheek and curve it down, and let the left side curl in along the bottom.
Step 4: The hat brim
Draw a long, thin, flat oval across the top of the head, between the two ears. This is the brim of the hat.
Step 5: The pointy hat
From the brim, draw a tall cone that leans over and bends at the tip. Add a band with two little squares around the bottom of the cone.
Step 6: Face and whiskers
Draw two small dots for eyes. Add a tiny nose with a little curvy smile under it, then two short whisker lines on each cheek.
Step 7: The bow tie
Below the chin, draw two little loops that touch in the middle, like a sideways number eight. Add a tiny knot in the center to tie it together.
Step 8: Two front paws
At the bottom of the body, draw two side-by-side ovals for the paws. Let them touch in the middle and fill the gap at the bottom of the body.
Step 9: The curly tail
Start at the right side of the body and draw a long curvy line swooping out to the right and curling up at the end. Draw a second line under it, close beside the first, to make the tail thick.
All done!
Erase the guide shapes, go over your lines, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a cat in a witch hat
- Draw the hat brim as a long, thin oval between the ears. Drawing the head first shows you just where it belongs.
- The bow tie can be tricky. Draw one loop on each side so both loops match in size, then add a tiny knot in the middle.
- Keep the two paw ovals about the same size and let them touch in the middle. Draw the tail last with a slow, steady hand so the curl stays smooth.
