How to Draw a Roaring Cheetah Face: Step-by-Step Guide

Here’s how I approach how to draw a cheetah face front view roaring. The entire guide breaks down the drawing into 18 manageable steps. I kept the frontal angle and open-mouth expression as the focus, since this kind of pose helps practice animal anatomy and emotion in a neutral, straightforward way. The process is moderate in difficulty, with most attention needed on the mouth and symmetrical facial lines.

Key Features to Focus on in the Roaring Cheetah Drawing

  • Rounded ears with light inner fur details
  • Sloped eye shapes with bold outlines and visible irises
  • Open mouth with full top and bottom front teeth, tongue in the center
  • Spots across the face and neck, especially on the sides
  • Compact nose with symmetrical lines and visible muzzle folds
  • Vertical tear markings typical of cheetahs running from the eyes downward
  • Symmetry from left to right

If you want to try more animals next, I’d go for a roaring lioness face, a wolf howling, or a tiger face.

Guide Structure and Roaring Cheetah Drawing Color Cues

This cheetah drawing tutorial uses a clear color guide to help organize each phase:

  • Red Color: shows what to draw in the current step
  • Black Color: shows all previously completed lines
  • Gray Color: shows the base sketch, to help you structure everything

I recommend starting with the overall head shape, keeping both sides even.
