What you need
A pencil, an eraser and a sheet of paper are enough. Draw lightly at first, then trace the lines you want to keep when your ragdoll cat is finished.
Step 1 of 6
Draw a circle for the Ragdoll cat's head
Start your Ragdoll cat drawing with a smooth circle. Leave plenty of room underneath for the cat's soft, full body.

Add two triangular ears
Place one triangular ear on each side of the top of the head. Let their lower edges overlap the circle slightly.
Beginner tip: Try to make the ears similar in height so the face stays balanced.

Create the sweet Ragdoll face
Draw two large round eyes, a small nose and a short curved mouth. Add three whiskers on each cheek and small tufts around the sides of the face.

Draw the fluffy sitting body
Use long, slightly jagged curves to form a wide body below the head. Add the chest point, two front legs and rounded paws at the bottom.

Add back legs and a plumed tail
Draw a rounded back leg on each side, then sweep a long fluffy tail out to the right. Give the tail a broad, soft silhouette.

Finish the long, soft fur
Scatter a few tapered fur lines over the chest, sides, legs and tail. These simple marks give your Ragdoll cat its soft coat without making the drawing busy.
Beginner tip: Follow the direction of each body part when you add the fur strokes.

That's it! You have drawn a ragdoll cat.
Trace your favorite lines a little darker, erase any unwanted pencil marks and add color if you would like.
