In this tutorial, I’ll go over how to draw a cheetah face front view. It’s a symmetrical composition, so you’ll want to pay close attention to the placement of features. The guide is beginner-friendly and works well for anyone practicing animal drawing.
Visual Breakdown of the Cheetah’s Face
- Rounded ears with visible inner curves
- Oval eyes spaced evenly apart
- Distinct black tear-like lines from the inner eyes to the mouth corners
- Flat broad nose at the center with small nostrils
- Spotted fur across the face and neckline
- Short rounded muzzle with a defined lip line
If you’re exploring other animal illustrations, you can also try drawing a lioness’ face, a wolf head, or a tiger front view next.
About This Drawing Guide
This guide uses three line colors to help you follow the process:
- Red Color: current step
- Black Color: previously completed lines
- Grey Color: base sketch for proportions
The overall complexity is moderate. It’s best to sketch the base shapes lightly first.
