How to draw big cats

In my recent tutorial I showed you how to draw our furry friends, domestic cats. But did you know that you can use this knowledge to also create their bigger cousins? Lions, tigers, leopards, jaguars, snow leopards, cougars, and cheetahs—I will show you how to draw them all! Of course, if you want to draw them 100% accurately, it’s best that you use photos or observe the animals in a zoo. But if you want to draw them from your imagination, or to use some features of big cats for your creature design, this is the place for you! I will show you that a leopard isn’t just a spotted lion—or a tiger a striped one. Even without the characteristic colors and patterns big cats differ a lot from each other. Once you learn these differences, you’ll be able to recreate any species—and even create a new one.
