How to Draw Pusheen the Cat

Last Updated: May 12, 2021

Love cats and especially Pusheen? Pusheen is a comic cat character developed by Claire Belton and Andrew Duff for the webcomic "Everyday Cute." If you want to know how to draw her, the following instructions will guide you through each stage of developing her features until you've drawn the whole cat.

Steps

1
Start by drawing the ears of the cat.
- Draw two triangles without bases.
- Draw a line connecting the two triangles. You can use a ruler. (optional)
2
Draw the body of the cat for Pusheen's face.
- Draw a curve starting from the right ear and make as long as you like, to create the height of your Pusheen.
3
Draw the legs of Pusheen.
- Draw a semicircle aligned with each of the ears.
- Draw a line to connect the legs.
- Draw a horizontal line, starting from the leg, longer than the length of the line connecting the first two legs. For example, if the line connecting the first two legs is 1.4 cm (0.55 inch.), the line you are drawing should be longer than that.
- Draw the other two legs and connect them with a line that is as long as the line that is connecting the first two legs.
4
Draw the back of Pusheen.
- Draw another curve starting at the back leg. End the curve at the height of the bottom of the ears of Pusheen.
- Connect the end of the curve to the bottom of the left ear with a straight line.
5
Draw the face of Pusheen.
- Draw two dots for her eyes.
- Draw her mouth by drawing a line that splits into two and curve it upward.
- Draw the whiskers by drawing two lines on each side.
6
Draw the lines of Pusheen's head.
- Draw three semicircles on the line that is connecting the ear.
7
Draw two semicircles on the back of Pusheen.
8
Draw the tail of Pusheen.
- Draw a semi-oval on the end of Pusheen and draw stripes on the tail.
9
Congratulate yourself; you drew Pusheen! Be sure to share your incredible art with your family and friends!
