Draw it step by step

Six steps to a black cat

New lines are purple. Lines you already drew turn light.

1

Start with the head

Draw a big circle low on the left side of your paper. Leave plenty of room above it and to the right.

2

Arch the back

Start beside the head and climb steeply into a tall arch. Bring the line back down and tuck the belly up underneath.

3

Add pointy ears

Two tall triangles on top of the head, leaning out a little. Sharp points make a cat look wide awake.

4

Give it a face

Two big round eyes high on the head, a small triangle nose, and a curvy smile underneath.

5

Legs and a tail

Two legs under the chest and two under the hump. Draw each one as a narrow U with a rounded paw, then a tail straight up behind.

6

Finishing touches

Two short whiskers on each side of the nose, then a collar with a shiny tag. Leave the inside of your cat white so the face still shows.

Now draw a black cat who's scared of a mouse.

Practice on paper

The magic part

Animate your drawing with AI

Finished drawing? In a Kubrio project, your kid turns this paper black cat into a real animated film — with Kubrio's AI thinking partners at their side. The little tail swish below is a wink; the real clips go much further.

Ingenious projects that inspire kids to make things — until they find the thing only they could make.
Ages 6–13.
