How to draw Hello Kitty
Kon'nichiwa, Doodleers! Today we're catching a flight to the land of kawaii and learning how to draw everyone's favorite Japanese feline – Hello Kitty!
Step 1
Start with a little mushroom.
Step 2
Add a couple of arms and some lines for her shirt. Give her some rounded ears, two circles for eyes, and a cute little nose. You can also start her bow on the top of her head.
Step 3
Give her some legs, sleeves, a thumb, and two buttons for her shirt. Add a couple of loops for her bow.
Step 4
Add the little details like whiskers and lines on her shirt.
Step 5
Now color her in with some nice raspberry reds and navy blue.
Note: you’ll notice that I changed up Hello Kitty’s face on the last step. I think it’s important to make popular characters your own by injecting your own style.
In this case, we have ourselves a Doofy Kitty!
Let's now explore some fun and adorable facts about this iconic kitty.
British Roots: Despite being created by the Japanese company Sanrio, Hello Kitty is actually from London, England. Quite a cosmopolitan cat, isn't she?
Kitty White: Hello Kitty's full name is Kitty White, and she's portrayed as a cheerful and kind-hearted little girl, always willing to help her friends.
A Mouthless Marvel: Have you ever noticed that Hello Kitty doesn't have a mouth? This design choice was made to allow people to project their feelings onto her.
Family Ties: Hello Kitty has a twin sister named Mimmy who is shy and very girly. Remember, every kitty doodle could use a companion!
