How to Draw Cat Noir

Draw the head and torso outline.
To start drawing Cat Noir, sketch the basic shape of the head as a rounded oval with slightly tapered sides. Then, add a simple elongated shape beneath it to represent the torso. Keep the lines light and smooth. Ensure the head is slightly larger in proportion to the body.
Sketch the mask and facial features.
Next, outline Cat Noir’s signature mask by drawing two curved lines across the upper part of the face, forming an elongated shape that covers the eyes. Inside the mask area, draw the eyes as two large almond-like shapes with slightly pointed corners. Inside each eye, add the pupils.
Draw the hair of Cat Noir.
Start from the top of the head, drawing jagged and curved lines to form a slightly wavy and uneven hairstyle. The hair should frame the face while extending outward in various directions. The front strands should fall slightly over the forehead, partially covering the mask while still allowing the eyes to be fully visible.
Add cat ears and mouth.
With the hair in place, draw the cat ears on top of the head. Create two triangular shapes with slightly curved edges. The ears should point slightly outward. Sketch the mouth with a slight upward curve to give the character a confident and smiling expression.
Sketch the upper body and arms.
Now, outline Cat Noir’s upper body, starting with the shoulders and arms. Sketch the arms bent at the elbows, with hands resting on the hips. The hands should be simple, with small curved lines illustrating fingers rather than drawing each one in detail. Add the bell-shaped collar at the base of the neck.
Draw the legs and lower body.
Continue drawing Cat Noir by sketching the lower half of the body. Start with the waistline and extend two slightly curved lines downward to form the legs, keeping them short and slightly apart to fit the chibi proportions. At the bottom of the legs draw the feet.
Add the tail and costume details.
Now, draw the cat tail, extending from behind the waist. The tail should curve slightly to one side. Keep the tail relatively simple, avoiding excessive details. Next, sketch the belt around the waist. Add small buckle details to make it look more realistic. Draw the gloves and boots.
Finalize the outline and adjust details.
Go over the entire drawing of Cat Noir and refine the outline, ensuring all elements are clean and polished. Erase any unnecessary construction lines and smooth out rough edges. You can add minor details such as folds in the clothing or small adjustments to the hair to make the drawing of Cat Noir more finished.
Color the drawing of Cat Noir.
Finish drawing Cat Noir by adding color to the completed outline. Use yellow for the hair, black for the mask, suit, and boots, and green for the eyes. The bell on the collar should be colored gold or yellow. To make your artwork look finished, you can add more shadows and highlights.
