How to Draw a Black Panther

from wikiHow - The How to Manual That You Can Edit

A black panther is one of the fiercest cats in the jungle. By following the steps below you can learn to draw one for yourself!

Steps

1. Draw a large circle for the head. Add a smaller one for the snout and put in guidelines for the facial features.
   
   
   
   
   
2. Draw details. Sketch two half-circles for the eyes, a curvy triangle for the nose, an inverted "Y" shape for the mouth, and two triangular shapes for the ears.
   
   
   
   
   
3. Draw an oval for the neck. Add two larger ones for the sections of the body, one tilted upward into the juncture of the neck and one horizontal.
   
   
   
   
   
4. Draw three ovals for each leg. Add in paws and a long, muscular tail. Don't make any of these body parts particularly streamlined--the panther might seem sleek, but it's a powerful animal.
   
   
   
   
   
5. Outline the panther and erase guidelines. Make sure to emphasize the elements of the face and feet that distinguish the stealth of the panther.
   
   
   
   
   
6. Color in your drawing. Use black or very dark blue for the body, and piercing yellow for the eyes.
