Drawing a cheetah is no easier or more difficult than drawing a domestic cat or a Bengal tiger. There are simply a number of features of the body structure and color of the cheetah that must be reflected in the drawing.
Instructions
Step 1
It is recommended to start drawing a cheetah with its body. It is more elongated and thinner than that of other wild cats. If you draw a running individual, you need to emphasize its sunken belly and sufficiently strong ribs. The cheetah has practically no fat deposits, and the muscles are extremely developed. When walking calmly, his back bends.
Step 2
If we compare the body structure of a cheetah with the proportions of other cats, the length of its paws is immediately striking. Among the predators of the whole world, he is the longest-legged. This needs to be reflected in the figure. The thighs of the cheetah are powerful, muscular; in the running cheetah, muscle tension in this part of the paws is visible. The shins and elbows of the legs are thin, not as strong and powerful as those of a lion or lynx.
Step 3
The cheetah's head is smaller than that of other wild felines. It even seems a little small, given the fact that this predator has a powerful nape. He also has small round ears, which are pressed tightly against his head while running to reduce air resistance. There are thin black stripes on the sides of the muzzle.
Step 4
The easiest way is to draw the tail. It must be remembered that it is very long and is three quarters of the body length of this wild cat.
Step 5
We must not forget about the coloring of the cheetah. The main color of his skin is yellow, the belly is lighter, the back is somewhat darker. And, of course, the entire cheetah, from the top of the head to the tip of the tail, is strewn with black specks of various shapes. But it is worth remembering that there are no spots under the eyes, on the nose, on the face and under the chin. At the end of the tail, black spots merge and form circles.
