How To Draw Hello Kitty

Today, let’s try drawing “Kitty” from Hello Kitty.

Hello Kitty is famous all over the world but started in Japan.

The Hello Kitty drawing style is very simple, not much detail but still very cute looking. This makes it great as an art lesson for kids and beginners.

Feel free to change it up a bit and color different parts any way you like!

A Few Tips Before You Start Drawing

Kitty’s large red bow is one of her most well-known features. Try to keep it on the larger side and avoid making it too small.
You don’t need to use the same colors as we do (you can if you want though) Experiment and see what you like best. That’s what makes this so much fun!

Let’s Draw Hello Kitty – Step By Step

Step 1: Let’s start by drawing most of the head. We want to leave a bit of space in the top left for the bow that you’ll add over the next few steps.

Step 2: Start by drawing a circle in the middle of the empty space in the top left corner of the head. Add 2 more half circles on the sides after.

Step 3: Finish off the bow. Try to get the sides of the bow to touch the head lines.

Step 4: Now that the bow is done, you can add the other ear above it.

Step 5: Start the body next. Try to curve the lines outwards as they go down.

Step 6: Next, draw the arms on the sides of the body.

Step 7: Let’s do the feet next.

Step 8: Hello Kitty whiskers are not completely straight. They curve a bit downwards but very slightly.

Step 9: Next let’s add a bit of line details to the clothing.

Step 10: A little bit more detail to the clothing. Don’t fill in the button circles; you’ll want to color the inside of them later.

Step 11: Eyes and nose. Leave a small white circle in the eyes and don’t color the inside of the nose.

Step 12: All the lines are done, so you can start coloring. One of Kitty’s signature fashion features is her red bow, so we like to keep that red.

Great job on the drawing!
