My First Step By Step Tutorial: How to draw a cheetah cub

So today I will show you how to draw a basic cheetah cub. I started in pencil and finished in pen. There is also a slide show version How to draw a cheetah cub slide show

Remember that this is just a way to help it is not the end all be all. Always add your own twists and realize that it doesn't have to be perfect. Hope this helps!

Step 1: Draw the top of the head

 Step 2: Add basic ear shape, they should be more round than triangular

 Step 3: Finish off the head it should not be completely circular and add lines in the ears

Step 4: Add the eyes. I did my Daniel eyes

 Step 5: Add small eyebrows, stripes to make a middle with dots in between them, and two black stripes on each side of the eye one smaller than the other

 Step 6: Add a nose (it should look similar to the head shape), add nostrils and connect the bottom of the nose to the top of the near black stripe.

 Step 7: Put a line under the nose, add a square mouth, a tongue, which should be like a upside down M. Add a bottom lip/tooth.

 Step 8: Add dots in the area on side part of nose and draw whiskers

Step 9: Draw a basic body shape you should draw the front legs first and then use that to draw the back legs

 Step 10: Also add a tail

Last step: Add in hair ( I added a little on the ears and then around the body), trace over in pen and clean up some things (for me the big thing was the nose and whiskers) color in whatever you choose. Lastly, add dots (stripes on the tail). The dots should be different sizes and you can add as many or as few as you want.
