The following is a video tutorial where the steps are WRITTEN out within the video:

Start with Simple Lines and Shapes

Intro: For the first few steps, don't press down too hard with your graphite pencil. Use light, smooth strokes to begin so that it's easy to erase if you make a mistake.

Step 1: Sketch two circles as guides for the snow leopard's body. They're just guides. Pay close attention to the placement of the circles. Don't space them out too much.

DRAWING TIP: To draw a circle, first draw four small marks for the height and width of the circle, and then connect the marks using curved lines. Sketch lightly at first so that it's easy to erase if you make a mistake. But the circles don't have to be perfect. They're just guides.

Step 2: With your graphite pencil, lightly make a smaller circle above the left circle as a guide for this big cat's head. Notice how they overlap a little.

Step 3: Inside the head, sketch two intersecting lines that will help you place this wild cat's facial features later.

Keep Building the Drawing Slowly

Step 4: Right below where the two lines intersect, draw an oval as a guide for the snow leopard's muzzle.

Step 5: Pencil in two small arcs on top of the head as guides for the cat's ears.
