In this tutorial, I’ll walk you through how to draw a panther jumping toward the viewer in a cartoon style. This one has 12 steps, and it’s moderately easy, but you’ll need to be careful with proportions, especially in the paws and head.
Key Details of the Panther’s Look
- Front-facing perspective with extended forelimbs
- Large rounded front paws with sharp definition
- Angry expression with furrowed eyebrows
- Compact body visible between the arms and above the head
- Curved tail
If you like sketching wild cats, you can follow this up by drawing lions, a tiger, a cheetah or a cartoon baby tiger.
