Step 1: Begin drawing your cheetah by making a circle.
Step 2: Next, you will draw the body as an elliptical loop angled downward from the rear of the head.
Step 3: Draw the ears as two sets of concentric half-loops. The outer loop of each ear should be darker than the inner loop.
Step 4: Draw the cheetah's long tail as two wavy lines coming together in a round point.
Step 5: For the legs, draw four sets of parallel lines with rectangles on the bottom.
Step 6: Draw the eyes as almond-shaped ovals with shaded crescent shapes to show reflection.
Step 7: Draw the snout as wavy lines that run down the cheetah's face from its eyes. Add the nose, mouth, and whiskers to the snout.
Step 8: Finally, add lots of ovals for the spots. Make your ovals many different sizes to create the cheetah's amazing pattern.
