How to draw hello kitty - a free hello kitty drawing guide

What can I use if I don't have a black marker or pink and yellow coloring materials?

If you don't have a black marker to "Carefully trace your final pencil lines," use a fine-tip black pen or permanent marker, and replace the pink and yellow crayons with colored pencils, washable markers, or watercolor paints to color the bow and nose.

My traced lines smudge and the whiskers look messy—how can I avoid or fix that?

To avoid smudging when you "trace your final pencil lines with the black marker," allow the ink to dry completely before you "Gently erase the remaining pencil guide lines," and fix messy whiskers by lightly erasing and redrawing them with your pencil before inking.

How can I adapt this Hello Kitty drawing for different age groups?

For younger kids, pre-draw the large head and body ovals and the vertical center line so they can add the eyes, nose, whiskers, and bow, while older kids can follow every step and add extra details like clothing, shading, or patterned bows.

How can we extend or personalize the finished Hello Kitty drawing?

Personalize your drawing by changing the bow color or pattern, adding a background scene or outfit, gluing on a paper bow for texture, or taking a photo of your finished Hello Kitty to share on DIY.org as instructed.
