This step-by-step guide shows how to draw a sitting cat with a heart necklace from a front view. The drawing features an orange tabby cat facing forward, wearing a red collar with a pink heart pendant hanging from it. The symmetrical front pose makes this one easier to draw compared to angled views.
Drawing a Front-Facing Cat with Heart Pendant
The tutorial contains 18 steps to complete this cat drawing. You will start with the round head shape, add the pointed ears and facial features, then work down to the body in a sitting position. The collar and heart pendant come in toward the end to finish off the look.
Final Result: Tabby Cat with Heart Necklace
Here is what the completed drawing looks like:
This friendly orange tabby also appears in two other tutorials. One shows the cat from a three-quarter angle with the same heart collar, while another features the cat lying down with its tail curled into a heart shape. Practicing the same character from different angles helps develop your understanding of form and proportion. Find all three cat guides in the Valentine’s Day drawing collection.
