How to Draw a Stack of Christmas Kittens
Let’s have some fun drawing a cute stack of Christmas kittens! This is a great activity for everyone, and you only need a few things to get started. Let’s begin!
What You Need
Before we start, make sure you have these supplies:
- A marker
- White paper
- Colors (crayons, markers, or colored pencils)
- A scratch paper to keep your table clean
Step 1: Get Your Paper Ready
First, let’s prepare the paper:
- Fold the Paper: Take the top edge of your paper and fold it down to the bottom. Fold it in half first, then press the edges to make it neat.
- Make More Folds: Fold the bottom edge up to the top, then flip the paper over and fold the bottom edge up again. This will help us with our drawing.
Step 2: Draw the Kittens
Drawing the Paws
- Draw the Paws: Open the paper and flatten the folds. Draw two ovals or circles at the top of the fold for the kitten’s paws. Half of each paw should be above the fold and half below.
- Add Toes: Draw two lines on each paw to show the kitten’s toes.
Drawing the Stocking
- Outline the Stocking: Below the fold, draw short lines on both sides to make the base of the stocking.
- Fluffy Top: Draw a wide “U” shape at the top for the fluffy part.
- Finish the Stocking: Draw a short line down on the left and a longer line down on the right, then curve the bottom to connect them.
Drawing the First Kitten
- Kitten’s Face: Above the fold, draw two big circles for the eyes. Add smaller circles inside for the pupils and color them, leaving a tiny white spot for sparkle.
- Add Features: Draw a small “V” for the nose and connect it to a “J” and a backward “J” for the mouth.
- Draw the Ears: Make an “A” shape for each ear, connecting them at the top with a curve.
- Cheeks and Whiskers: Add curves for cheeks and a zigzag for fluff. Don’t forget the whiskers!
Step 3: Draw More Kittens
- Draw the Second Kitten: Below the fold, draw another kitten’s head, repeating the steps for eyes, nose, mouth, and ears.
- Add Details: Include the paws and leave space for the third kitten.
Drawing the Third Kitten
- Repeat the Process: For the third kitten, draw eyes looking up and a tongue sticking out for fun.
- Finish with Ears and Whiskers: Draw one ear up and one down, and add whiskers.
Step 4: Final Touches
- Complete the Stocking: Draw a curve to connect the stocking to the kitten’s cheek for a 3D look.
- Add Tails: Draw curvy “S” lines for the kittens’ tails, making them overlap nicely.
Step 5: Color Your Kittens
Now it’s time to color your kittens! Use your favorite colors and make them as bright and cheerful as you like.
Conclusion
Once you’re done coloring, open your folded surprise to see your stack of Christmas kittens. You can even add candy canes or presents around them to make it extra festive. Enjoy your artwork and happy holidays!
