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 and right sides
Draw two tall sides that curve outward like a bell. Each side starts near the top, bulges out, then ends with a little curl turning inward at the bottom. Leave the top and the middle of the bottom open.
Step 3: Head top and ears
Draw one line across the top that joins the two sides. Make it go up to a pointed ear, dip down in the middle for the head, then go up to a second pointed ear.
Step 4: Wavy bottom
Between the two curls at the bottom, draw a short wavy line with a few soft bumps, like the edge of a bedsheet.
Step 5: Two little feet
Under the wavy edge, draw two small U shapes side by side, like tiny paws peeking out.
Step 6: The curvy tail
On the right side, draw a curved stripe that starts at the body, swoops out and up like a hook, and comes back down. Join the two curves at the tip and finish the stripe at the body.
Step 7: Big round eyes
Draw two circles side by side in the upper middle of the body. Make them the same size and leave a gap between them.
Step 8: Pupils
Draw a small dot in the middle of each eye circle. Keep both dots the same size.
Step 9: The tiny mouth
Between the eyes and a little below them, draw a very small wavy line, like a tiny w, for a happy cat mouth.
All done!
Erase the guide shapes, go over your lines, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a ghost cat
- Start with the two sides and make them match, so the body looks even.
- Draw the ears as one line that goes up, dips down and goes up again, so both ears are the same height.
- The tail is the trickiest part. Draw one smooth curve out and up, then bring it back down and close the tip.
- Draw the left eye first, then match the right one at the same height.
