Today I’m going to show you how to draw a cute cartoon leopard. This one is pretty beginner-friendly since it uses clear, smooth lines and simple shapes. The main thing here is getting the proportions right, especially for the head and eyes, since they make up a lot of the character’s expression.
Important Features To Focus On When Drawing This Cartoon Leopard
- Large rounded head slightly wider than the body
- Big oval-shaped eyes with simple pupils and highlights
- Small ears with inner ear lines
- Short rounded snout with a black nose
- Open mouth with a visible tongue
- Pairs of whiskers extending from both sides of the snout
- Body is small and rounded with short legs and visible paws
- Tail is long, curvy, and positioned upright
- Spots scattered across the head, body, and tail
Once you’re done with this one, you can also try drawing other simple cartoon animals like a horse, an anime rat, a happy bull, or even an easter fox to practice similar styles.
Color Marking System I Use For This Guide
To make each step as easy as possible, I’ve used this color system:
- Red Color: shows the current step you are working on.
- Black Color: shows the lines you have already drawn in previous steps.
