This round and cute kitty has won fans the world over, and has been shown in all manner of cute scenarios.
Pusheen Cat may be super popular, but even with her simple design it can still be a challenge learning how to draw Pusheen Cat.
Worry not though, as with the right guide it can be made much easier!
This step-by-step guide on how to draw Pusheen Cat will show how to recreate this Internet icon with ease.
How to Draw Pusheen Cat – Let’s get Started!
Step 1
In this guide on how to draw Pusheen Cat, we will be drawing her in a cute sombrero. We will begin with that sombrero in this first step before we draw Pusheen herself.
First, use some sharp lines to create the rim of the hat. Then, use a rounded triangle shape on top of the rim for the tip of the hat.
Finally, use two more lines from the tips of the rim going towards the tip of the hat, as shown in the reference image.
Step 2 – Draw the body for Pusheen Cat
We will be drawing the entire body for your Pusheen Cat drawing in this step. Drawing the whole body in a single step may sound like a tall order, but her simple design will make it possible!
Her body is a round, chubby oval, and you can use a curved line to draw it coming down from the hat.
Finally, at the base of her body you can draw two small curved lines for her little paws. That’s all there is to it for this step, so let’s move on!
Step 3 – Now, draw the whiskers and spots for Pusheen
This next step of our guide on how to draw Pusheen Cat should be a simple one for you to do! First, use two curved lines on each side of her face for the whiskers coming from it.
These will be quite high up on the body, and will start just under the sombrero hat.
Before you move on, you can also draw two small circle shapes on the left hand side of her body for some spots on her body.
Step 4 – Next, draw her face and tail
It’s about time that we added a cute face to your Pusheen Cat drawing, so let’s go ahead and do that now! Much like other aspects of Pusheen, her face is quite simple to draw.
Her eyes are two simple, small circles on either side of her face. Then, between the eyes you can use two small, curved lines for the top of her smiling mouth. Finally, there will be one more small, curved line beneath this for the bottom of her mouth.
Before you move on, you can also give her a wavy tail and draw lines all along it. You can also change the positioning of the tail a bit if you want to as well!
Step 5 – Now, you can finish off the ears and final details
You’re almost at the final step of this guide on how to draw Pusheen Cat! Before that, we have just a few details to add first.
First, you can use two small, rounded triangle shapes on the rim of her hat for her ears poking up.
Then, once you have the ears drawn, you can add some detail to her sombrero. We used some jagged lines to create a triangular pattern for the hat, but this is just one of many ways that you could go about it.
You could replicate our design, or you could decorate her hat with your own patterns! That will finish off the final details, but before you move on, you can also add your own details and elements.
One great idea would be to draw a cool background for Pusheen.
This would be a great way to show what kind of fun setting she is in! Pusheen Cat loves to eat, so maybe you could draw some tasty treats for her to enjoy as well.
What extra details and elements can you think of to cap off this adorable drawing of yours?
Step 6 – Finish off your Pusheen Cat drawing with some color
This final step of your Pusheen Cat drawing is all about finishing it off with some amazing colors. Pusheen herself has quite a muted color scheme, as she usually appears with a more muted grey color scheme.
We can counter this more muted look with her sombrero accessory, however, so it’s a good thing that we added that! Having some brighter colors for the hat will contrast nicely with her more muted body color.
If you drew a background, then you can also incorporate some amazing colors for those aspects.
Once you know what colors you would like to use, you can bring them to life with your favorite art mediums and tools.
For more muted colors, you could use something like watercolors and colored pencils for that look. More vibrant colors can be achieved with tools like colored pens and acrylic paints.
Will you stick to one medium or mix some together for some incredible colors?
