Although there are many different cool styles and suggestions on drawing cats, there are none with an anime-cartoon style. Here is a cute cat, with a style or anime-cartoon to it. It’s very easy to draw.

Steps

1. 1Draw the shape of the head. This shape can vary. You could make it fluffy-looking by adding ear tufts, or maybe adding a swirly spiral of hair, etc.
2. 2Draw in the eyes, as seen in the image. These are in a sort of anime style, as they are much easier then drawing actual cat eyes. They also make the cat look much more cute.Advertisement
3. 3Add in the facial features such as the nose, mouth, whiskers, and color in the eyes black. Be creative! Maybe add little fangs to the mouth, or a fishtail? Or how about squiggly whiskers if you were drawing a tough cat or an alley cat?
4. 4Draw a collar, a body and legs. Once again, creativity is the key. Especially the collar. A tough kitty could have skulls and fish bones. A sweet kitty could have flowers and hearts. Finally, a fancy kitty could have lots and lots of diamonds!
5. 5Add the tail, back legs and more detail to the paws. You could make the tail scruffy to give it an “alley cat” look or fluffy, as if it were a “fancy kitty”.
6. 6Add detail such as claws and patterns to the tail and face. Spots, stripes, etc.
7. 7Add color and you are done! But you don’t have to be. Draw a garden in the background or a simple food bowl, or whatever you can think of.
8. 8Finished.
