Here’s how to draw Hello Kitty holding a heart, a classic pose that captures her gentle personality. This 12-step guide shows how to build her from basic shapes, outline her features, and finish with the soft pink tones that make the design so warm.
Important Features to Include
- Species: White anthropomorphic cat
- Pose: Sitting while holding a heart with both hands

Hello Kitty is one of Sanrio’s most iconic characters, first appearing in 1974. She’s known for her friendly and gentle appearance, often shown doing simple, heartwarming things, just like holding this heart. In this version, her bow and heart share the same soft pink tone, keeping the composition balanced and simple.
If you’d like to continue your Sanrio series, try drawing My Melody, Kuromi, or Cinnamoroll next, they all share that same expressive style.
