Gotham’s cat burglar leaps through the air with her whip in this guide showing how to draw Catwoman from DC Comics in her modern gray costume. Selina Kyle walks the line between villain and antihero, crossing paths with Batman throughout her criminal career in DC’s universe. Catwoman has also worked alongside Harley Quinn and tangled with Batgirl in her heists across the city.
Sketching Catwoman Mid-Leap
This dynamic tutorial covers 19 steps, building Selina Kyle jumping with her whip curling around her and the handle gripped in her hand!
Catwoman’s Modern Design
- Gray cowl with pointed cat ears
- Orange goggles pushed up on the forehead

- Long black whip curling throughout the composition
Catwoman’s whip creates the most complex element when drawing Catwoman in this pose. The flowing weapon wraps around her entire body and requires careful placement. Her gray costume differs from earlier black versions. For another take on Selina, check out the Catwoman from Batman: Caped Crusader tutorial.
