My Drawing of the Cheshire Cat

I’ve always loved the Cheshire Cat from Disney’s Alice in Wonderland. He’s one of those characters who’s both funny and a little mysterious, and of course, you can’t forget that giant grin. Recently, I decided to sit down and draw him myself, and I wanted to share the result with you here.

The Drawing Process

I wanted to capture the Cheshire Cat in one of his most classic poses—curled up, looking super pleased with himself, and showing off that wide, mischievous smile. I stuck with his signature pink and purple stripes because, honestly, that color combination is too iconic to change. The bold pink pops against the darker purple, and it really makes him stand out on the page.

The part I had the most fun with was his face and expression. His big yellow eyes and giant grin practically tell their own story, and I tried to keep that playful but slightly mischievous vibe he’s so famous for.

How It Turned Out

Overall, I’m really happy with how it came out! The stripes have some variation that makes them feel lively instead of flat, and I like how the shading gives him a bit of depth without overcomplicating the design. I decided to leave the background blank so all the focus would stay on the Cheshire Cat himself—because let’s be real, he is the star of the show.

Final Thoughts

This was such a fun character to draw, and I feel like the Cheshire Cat’s personality really shines through. He’s bright, playful, and just a little unsettling, which is exactly how he should be.

It’s always cool to take a character you love and put your own spin on them, and this one was especially enjoyable. I might even try drawing a few more Alice in Wonderland characters in the future to go along with him.
