How to Draw Catwoman
- Draw the head and torso.
Drawing Catwoman in a cartoon style is almost no different from drawing other comics characters in the first steps. The large circle is the contours of the head, the small truncated oval is the torso.
- Depict the outline of the glasses.
So, draw the outlines of Catwoman’s large glasses. These are technological glasses that cover almost the entire central part of the face. There are small nicks on the top edge of the glasses.
- Add details.
Let’s detail the Catwoman mask. To do this, we will draw the outlines of the ears and add the inner boundaries of the lenses, which are very reminiscent of the eyes of the Spider-Man mask.
- Draw the elements of the face.
Due to the chibi art style and the mask, we see very little of the face. The eyes appear as a pair of diagonally spaced ovals, and the mouth appears as a short, curved line. Pay attention to eyelashes and eyebrows.
- Sketch out the collar and arms.
Our Catwoman is positioned frontally in a static pose. Therefore, the arms look like two small semicircles on the sides of the body. The collar looks like a small triangle just below the head.
- Depict the belt and legs.
On the belly, draw two horizontal lines. Then draw the legs, in which the feet are turned in opposite directions.
- Add more details.
To make Catwoman look more complete, add small details – the outline of the tail, as well as the tops of the gloves and shoes. Surely these are gloves and shoes for moving along walls and ceilings.
- Correct inaccuracies.
Check out the close-up of Catwoman’s face, the outline of her mask and glasses, and the placement of her eyes and mouth. Check out the superheroine’s overall figure. After that, remove the extra sketches from the previous steps.
- Color the Catwoman.
Please note – everything that is behind the lenses of the glasses must be yellow. This is a simple technique that realistically depicts large colored glasses. Don’t forget the highlights inside the eye contours, as well as the black and gray suit.

Common Mistakes in Catwoman Art
After diving into the exciting world of drawing Catwoman, especially in her cute chibi form, you’ve probably had a blast. But, like any great adventure, sometimes we stumble a bit along the way. Let’s talk about some common mistakes that might sneak up on you, so you can leap over them like Catwoman herself!
- Forgetting the Details: Catwoman’s look is all in the details, like her iconic mask and belt. Missing these can make her look less like herself.
- Proportions in Chibi Style: Remember, chibi characters have larger heads and smaller bodies. Keeping this balance can be tricky but super important.
- Overcomplicating the Sketch: Sometimes, less is more. Trying to add too many details at once can make your drawing look crowded.
- Not Using Light Lines at the Start: Starting with heavy, dark lines can make it hard to correct mistakes. Light lines are much easier to erase and adjust.
And there you have it, future comic book legends! Remember, making mistakes is just another step on the path to greatness. Every time you pick up a pencil, you’re getting better. So keep drawing, keep experimenting, and most importantly, keep having fun with it.
