To draw this cool Halloween Cat Skull step by step, follow along with the video tutorial below and pause the video after each step to draw at your own pace. You may find it easier to follow the step-by-step drawings below the video. The new lines in each step are shown in red, so you'll know exactly what to draw next. You may want to open the video in a new tab and use both drawing methods. Take your time and draw at your own pace.

Written step-by-step video tutorial:

For the first few steps, don't press down too hard with your pencil. Use light, smooth strokes to begin.

Step 1: Draw a sloping line that's similar to a check mark for the cat skull's eyebrow. Sketch lightly so that it's easy to erase if you make a mistake. Darken the lines only when you get the shape right. Curve the left tip down and the right tip up to furrow the brow.

Step 2: To the right, add another line for the other eyebrow but this time draw it sloping the other way. Draw the cat skull's eyebrows so that they look the same, but it's okay if they're not perfectly symmetrical.

Step 3: Under each eyebrow, draw a curved line for the cat skull's eye sockets. The final overall shape of the eyes and eyebrows should be triangle-like.

Step 4: Over each eye, draw a curved line to make the cat skull's brow thicker. The line should almost wrap around the top of the eye. Try to draw both sides the same way.

Step 5: Below the cat skull's eyes, in the middle, draw a line that's similar to a wide letter M for the top part of the nose. Pay attention to the placement of the nose. Don't draw it too close to the eyes. Draw the bottom edge of the nose as a line that looks like the letter W.

Step 6: To the left of the eye on the left, draw a curved shape that points up for the cat skull's first cheekbone. This shape basically consists of two lines that curve up and meet at a point at the top.

Step 7: Draw a similar curved, pointy shape on the right side for the cat skull's other cheekbone. Sketch lightly at first to gauge that both cheekbones are the same shape and size. Then darken the line.

Step 8: Below the cheekbone on the left, draw a wavy line for the first part of the cat skull's top jaw. This line should slope slightly toward the middle. At the bottom, draw a big, V-shaped line for the canine. You can make the canine longer if you'd like. Draw a couple of short, curved lines at the top to complete the shape.

Step 9: Draw a similar line and shape under the cheekbone on the right for the other side of the top jaw. Start with a wavy line at the top and then add a V-shaped line at the bottom for the other canine. Try to draw both sides of the cat skull the same way. You can use a ruler to make sure both sides are the same length.

Step 10: Draw a curved, horizontal line in the middle to connect the sides of the top jaw. Don't draw the line too high above the canines. Sketch it lightly at first and only darken it when you get it right. Draw a series of small, V-shaped lines along the bottom of the line for the cat skull's front teeth.

Step 11: Starting on the top, left side of the eye on the left, draw a big, tall shape similar to an upside-down letter V for the cat's ear. Ears aren't made of bone, so they're not part of a skull but this isn't a realistic skull, so we'll add them so that it reads like a cat.

Step 12: Draw another line that's similar to an upside-down letter V on the right side for the cat's other ear. Try to draw both ears similarly. Notice how the bottom part of the line that's right above the eye curves inward a bit.

Step 13: Draw a curved line that connects the ears to create the top part of the skull. Draw a line from each ear to each cheekbone to create the sides of the skull. Draw a line close to the inner edge of each ear to give the ears more structure. Add a smaller, curved line at the bottom of each ear to give the cat skull a more rounded shape.

Step 14: Using a pen or marker, carefully go over the lines to make your cat skull drawing permanent. After the ink dries, get rid of every pencil mark with an eraser.

Final Step: Color your cat skull drawing using color pencils, markers or crayons! Color the eyes and nose black. You can also use the same pen you used to ink the drawing. Use yellow or light brown to create shadows and give the figure more dimension and volume. Color the insides of the ears and the sides of the skull. Color the middle to emphasize the furrowed brow and the teeth. Don't forget to pause the video after each step to draw at your own pace.
