We'll start with Hello Kitty herself. Draw a large circle for her head and two smaller circles for her ears. Add a tiny face, two pom poms for her bow, and simple lines for her body, arms, and legs. Fill in the details, and you're done!

Hello Kitty

To start, draw a large circle, slightly taller than wide. This will be Hello Kitty's head. On top of the head, draw two smaller circles side by side. These are her ears.

nation. Redraw the lines using darker lines and erase the unnecessary guidelines. Now, your Hello Kitty outline is complete!

Hello Kitty's Friends

Use the same outlining technique to draw Hello Kitty's friends. For example, to draw Dear Daniel, create a rounder head than Hello Kitty's, with a smaller triangle beneath for his chin. Add a eyeless face, two rectangular hands, and stick legs.

For My Melody, draw an oval head with a small triangle at the top for her hat. Add a heart-shaped face, two round cheeks, and simple lines for her body, arms, and legs. Don't forget her signature red bow!

Trace and Fill Method

This method involves using trace patterns to create neater drawings. It's a helpful technique for those who prefer a more accurate result.

First, find or print a Hello Kitty and friends trace pattern. Place it under a clean sheet of paper, and trace the outlines using a pencil. Once done, remove the pattern, and fill in the details using markers or colored pencils.

Use a Hello Kitty trace pattern as a guide. Place the pattern under your paper and gently trace the outlines using a pencil. Be sure to press lightly to avoid indenting the paper.

For My Melody, use a trace pattern with an oval head, triangle hat, and heart-shaped face. Once traced and removed, fill in her face, bow, and body details. She should be looking sweet and charming!
