Drawing of a Cheetah
When students learn how to draw a cheetah, it helps for them to remember that he or she is more than just a cat with some yellow spots. A few specific features will transform them into much more than that.
First of all, the body needs to be narrow. That is what helps the cheetah to be one of the world’s fastest land mammals.
Second, the face has a distinct black line that connects the nose to the eyes. The tutorial below shows an easy way to do that.
Lastly, the fur is filled with lots and lots of small spots. No big ones, just lots of medium and small sized ones, and maybe a few stripes on the tail. Scroll down to learn more about how to draw a cheetah for kids, and download your tutorial for free today.
