The provided reference is a YouTube video about drawing a cartoon cat, implying the answer would involve visual steps. Since I can't reproduce visual instructions here, I'll describe the verbal parts related to the face and offer general guidance applicable to drawing a cute cartoon cat face.
Here's a general breakdown of how to draw a cute cartoon cat face, based on common techniques and the limited information from the reference:
-
Start with the Basic Shape: Begin with a circle or a slightly oval shape for the head. This provides the foundation for the entire face.
-
Add the Ears: Draw two triangles or rounded triangles on top of the head for the ears. Consider making them slightly tilted inwards for a cuter appearance.
-
Sketch Facial Guidelines: Lightly draw guidelines (a vertical line down the center and a horizontal line across the middle) to help place the features symmetrically.
-
Draw the Eyes: Cartoon cat eyes are typically large and round. Position them above the horizontal guideline. Consider adding highlights (small white circles) to make them sparkle. The larger the eyes, the cuter the cat will appear.
-
Draw the Nose: A small, triangular or heart-shaped nose is common. Place it on the vertical guideline, below the horizontal guideline.
-
Add the Mouth: A simple "w" or a slightly curved line below the nose represents the mouth. You can add small lines extending upwards from the corners of the mouth for a cute smile.
-
Incorporate Whiskers: As the reference mentions, draw three small lines coming out of each cheek for the base of the whiskers. Then, draw the actual whiskers extending outwards from these points. Three whiskers on each side is a good starting point.
-
Refine the Outline: Once you're happy with the placement of the features, refine the outline of the face, adding any additional details like fur tufts or cheek fluff.
-
Erase Guidelines: Carefully erase the guidelines you drew earlier.
-
Add Color (Optional): Use your choice of colors to bring your cartoon cat to life!
Key Elements for "Cuteness":
- Large eyes: Make the eyes proportionally larger than realistic.
- Round features: Avoid sharp angles; use rounded shapes for a softer look.
- Small nose and mouth: A tiny nose and a sweet smile contribute to the cuteness.
- Expressive details: Consider adding details like rosy cheeks, slightly tilted head, or a surprised expression.
