In previous lessons I showed how to sketch adult cats, this same guide will be devoted to to how to draw a kitten.

In this drawing lesson, I will show you how to draw a kitten step by step. Young cats are called kittens. It is known that after birth, kittens are completely dependent on their cat mom.

However, about two weeks after birth, kittens develop very quickly and adapt to their environment. These cute creatures look very funny when they explore the world around them.

I think many of you love kittens because these animals are very cute and affectionate. Often, kittens can be found as cartoon characters.

In this tutorial, you will be able to draw a cartoon style kitten, so it will look very cute and funny. If you still have very little drawing experience, then you should not worry, because I have developed this lesson especially for beginners and children.
