In this guide, I’m showing how to draw a cheetah superhero standing in a strong pose with fists on hips. The character looks like a cartoon-style hero and the process includes 20 steps. It’s a pretty simple drawing overall, so it works well even if you’re just getting into character drawing.
What to Focus on in This Character
- Standing upright in a confident pose with fists resting on hips
- Classic superhero cape
- Broad chest and cartoonish muscle definition
- Simple face with wide eyes
- Short ears and a rounded snout
- Dark spots across head, arms, and legs
- Thick tail with a black tip
- Superhero trunks and belt
If you’re interested in more cheetahs, try sketching a graffity, a front view full body, a cheetah’s head in profile, or full body side view.
How the Step Colors Work
- Red Color: lines for the current step
- Black Color: lines already drawn
- Grey Color: base sketch for proportions

Once you finish your cheetah superhero drawing, go ahead and drop it in the comments on the related Pinterest post. That’s where most artists post their finished work, and it’s always cool to see the variations.
If you want to keep drawing characters like this, I post new tutorials every other day on the SketchOk YouTube channel. It’s worth subscribing to keep up.
