Basic Information on How to Draw a Jaguar

Here you see a small cute jaguar in a sitting position. The main external features of a jaguar are its beautiful spotted fur color, small ears and a long tail. Now you have to depict these features in my lesson on how to draw a jaguar.

Let me remind you that before you draw any animal, you should determine the location of the drawing on a sheet of paper and use thin lines to indicate the external contours of the animal.

Then you need to gradually add small details and give the drawing clarity and expressiveness. You will use this principle in this tutorial on how to draw a jaguar, and you will end up with a wonderful artwork.

How to Draw a Jaguar

Draw the outlines of the head and torso.
Start by drawing two overlapping circles to form the jaguar’s head and body. The top circle should be smaller, for the head, and the bottom one larger, for the body.
Add the facial features of the jaguar.
Add two dots for eyes, a small triangle for the nose, and a curved line for the mouth. Sketch two small ovals on the head for ears.
Sketch out the ears of the jaguar.
Draw triangular outlines for the ears. Try to create smooth shapes without too sharp corners. Add the outlines of the ears as well.
Depict the fur on the chest of the jaguar.
Due to the cartoon style of drawing, we draw many features of the jaguar’s appearance in a very simplified manner. For example, this piece of fur that covers the neck like a collar.
Add the outlines of the front limbs of the jaguar.
Draw two sets of parallel lines beneath the body for the front legs. Add ovals for paws, and don’t forget to check the correct position of the paws relative to the body and head.
Finish drawing the front paws and add the outlines of the hind paw.
Draw the hind legs with slightly curved lines for a relaxed sitting pose. Sketch the back paws beside the front legs, with small lines for toes.
Draw the tail of the jaguar.
At the back of the jaguar’s body, draw the rounded tail using curved lines and an arc.
Add details.
The jaguar’s characteristic spotted appearance is what helps it survive. The Jaguar is very stealthy because of this. Draw the outlines of rounded spots that evenly cover the torso, limbs, head and tail.
Color the drawing.
Finalize your jaguar by coloring it in a warm, tawny shade. Add some depth to the spots and a little shine to the eyes to bring your drawing to life.
