How to Draw A Halloween Cat – Let’s Get Started!
As we mentioned in the introduction to this guide on how to draw a Halloween cat, cats are traditionally considered to be the familiar of choice for witches.
For this reason, we will be giving this spooky cat a cool witch’s hat. This hat is also what we shall start with in this first step of the guide.
First, draw a squared shape for the buckle of the belt around it, and then draw the straps of the belt.
You can then use some curved lines with pointy ends for the rim of the hat, and then you can use more curved and twisty lines for the pointy tip of the hat curling over.
Step 2 – Now, draw the face of this cat
You’ve completed the witch hat for this Halloween cat drawing, and in this second step we shall be drawing the ears of the cat.
You can use some curved lines with pointy tips to add the triangular ears onto the hat. Then, draw some more triangular shapes inside the ear outlines.
Then, use some curved and pointy lines for the furry outline of the head, and then draw some large and expressive eyes.
Lastly, draw the small nose and then add some curved lines for the mouth below it.
You can then finish off this step by drawing some whiskers poking off, and then we can proceed to the third step of the guide.
Scary Black Cat Drawing
There are so many ways to have creative fun with all the images that pop up around Halloween. Between haunted houses and colorful costumes and variations of nocturnal animals walking or flying around, there’s just too much material to work with. Now students have one more option with a tutorial for how to draw a scary cat.
This scary cat face was found in some vintage collection of Halloween things, which is also offers lots of what I call the “fun scary” ideas. Some of them are, of course, on the cheesy side, but many others just conjure up a time when a wigged-out looking cat with buggy eyes and sharp teeth was about the scariest thing you could imagine.
Oh, and on top of that, you could also use this as a lesson in drawing emotion. Anytime students draw dots that are small and floating in the middle of the eye, the look definitely says SCARED.
