Draw Cute Animals: From Simple Shapes to Your Own Characters

Beginners can learn to draw a sleeping cat, a folded-ear bunny, a curious puppy, a frog on a lily pad, a swimming axolotl and a sitting fox. Drawing these simple animals helps to build up the basic forms and then to vary expressions, proportions and individual features.

Pencil drawings of a folded-ear bunny, a sleeping cat, and a seated fox with a sweeping tail, arranged together on warm cream paper.

How the lessons work

  1. Watch the step

    Each step has a short demo of the pencil strokes. Play it again whenever you need to.

  2. Draw it on the canvas

    Use a mouse, a stylus or your finger. The pencil and eraser behave a lot like real ones.

  3. Get feedback from Luna

    Send the step and Luna tells you what looks right and what to fix. Adjust it and send it again, or move on.
