Step 1: Head and ears
Draw the top of the head as one curved line with two pointy cat ears and a gentle dip between them. Let the line curve down on each side to make the cheeks, and leave the bottom open.
Step 2: The round body
Under the head, draw a curved line on each side that goes down and bulges out like a round tummy. Finish each line with a small curve toward the middle, and leave a gap between them at the bottom.
Step 3: Little wings
On each side of the body, draw a wing shaped like a rounded leaf that sticks out from the shoulder. Give the bottom edge a couple of small bumps, like soft feathers.
Step 4: The curly tail
On the right side, start at the bottom of the body and draw a short tail that swings out and curls up at the tip, like a hook.
Step 5: Front paws
At the bottom, draw three short curved lines going up from the bottom edge to show the front paws and toes. Join them with small rounded bumps along the bottom.
Step 6: Big round eyes
Draw two round circles for eyes, side by side in the middle of the face. Fill them in solid so they look shiny and sweet.
Step 7: A tiny smile
Between the eyes and a little lower, draw a small wavy line like a cat mouth. It looks like two tiny bumps next to each other.
Step 8: Whiskers
On each cheek, draw two short lines that stick out sideways. Let them cross over the edge of the face a little.
All done!
Go over your lines with a marker, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a kitten dragon
- Draw lightly at first. The head and body are the biggest shapes, and everything else attaches to them.
- Make the two wings about the same size. Draw the left one, then look at it while you draw the right one so they match.
- Keep the tail short and in one smooth curve. If it wobbles, try again with a lighter hand.
