If you want to learn how to draw a cougar face front view, this guide will take you through the process in 14 simple steps. The cougar, also known as a puma, mountain lion, or panther depending on the region, has distinctive features that are important to capture for an accurate drawing. This tutorial is of medium complexity, suitable for those with some drawing experience who want to improve their skills in animal portrait drawing.
Main Features of the Cougar’s Face
- Rounded ears
- Short, wide muzzle with a prominent nose shape
- Forward-facing eyes with thick outlines
- Prominent whisker pads
- Thick, short fur around the face
- Defined jawline and chin
You could also try drawing other big cats like jaguars, lions, or cheetahs next, as they share similar facial structure but have unique patterns and proportions.
