Start The Scratching Post
To draw a cat scratching, we have to give it something to scratch. Use three rectangles to make the base shape of the scratching post. Draw the vertical lines lightly because we’ll be modifying them later on.
-
Texture The Post
Cat scratching posts are often covered in rope to give them a good texture that cats like to scratch. Use a variety of lines to add texture to the scratching post.
-
Finish The Scratching Post
Give the rope around the scratching post its shape by adding small bumps along the sides that line up with the lines you drew previously.
-
Start The Cat
Begin drawing the cat by drawing one of its back legs and stomach.
-
Draw The Cat’s Leg And Tail
Draw the other back leg and add the cat’s tail.
-
Draw The Front Legs
This cat is scratching the very top of the post, so draw the front legs reaching upwards with some sharp claws. Erase where the scratching post overlaps the front legs.
-
Add The Cat’s Head And Back
Draw the cat’s head facing the scratching post and use a curved line for the back.
-
Finish The Face
Give the cat its ears and face.
-
Add Color
Color in the scratching post using different browns and color in the cat how you would like.
