Step 16: Use the line on the left side as a guide to draw the first front leg. Follow the path of the guide and lightly sketch the shape of the cheetah's leg around it. The leg should bend forward a bit at the bottom. When you get the shape right, darken the lines. Use short strokes at the top for fur. Draw a couple of curved lines at the tip of the foot for the toes. At the front of each toe, draw a small, pointy shape for the big cat's claws. The top part of the leg should be wider than the bottom.
