How to Draw a Kitten with a Trick-or-Treat Basket · tinyhandscreate.com
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: Head and ears
Draw the top of a wide, rounded head with two pointy triangle ears. Curve the lines down each cheek and stop, leaving the bottom of the face open.
Step 3: Eyes and mouth
Draw two solid dots for the eyes, spaced apart in the middle of the face. Between them, a bit lower, draw a tiny wavy line for the mouth.
Step 4: Pumpkin outline
Below the left cheek, draw the left side and bottom of a big, wide pumpkin with one long curved line. Then add a short wavy line across the top for the rim.
Step 5: Back of the body
Start at the right cheek and draw a long curved line down for the kitten's back. Let it swoop in at the bottom toward the pumpkin.
Step 6: Arm and foot
Draw a short curved arm hanging down from the chin, with a couple of tiny lines for the paw. Then draw a round foot at the bottom, with short lines for toes.
Step 7: The curly tail
On the right side, start at the kitten's back and draw one curved line that sweeps out and curls up into a little hook for the tail.
Step 8: Candy and pumpkin face
On top of the pumpkin, draw a pile of wrapped candies with little bow shapes on their ends, and give one candy a tiny face. Then draw two curved lines for happy closed eyes and a small dot for the nose on the pumpkin.
Step 9: Pumpkin smile
Under the nose, draw a wide, wavy smile on the pumpkin. Go over it once more so the grin looks bold.
All done!
Erase the guide shapes, go over your lines, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a kitten with a trick-or-treat basket
- Draw the pumpkin outline lightly first, so the kitten's arm and foot can sit neatly beside it.
- The candy pile is the trickiest part. Take it slowly, one wrapped candy at a time, with a little bow on each end.
- Leave small gaps where lines meet on the head and body. They are easy to close when you trace over them.
