How to Draw a Bobcat
- Draw the base.
At the initial stage, simple geometric shapes will help you. Draw three circles of different sizes and thus determine the position of the head and torso.
- Depict the outline of the back and limbs.
At the top, draw a smooth line that consistently connects all the circles and goes into the tail. Define the position of the limbs using thin lines.
- Add the lower outline of the torso.
At the bottom, draw a connecting line in the same way as you did in the previous step. This way you will draw the neck, belly and lower part of the tail.
- Sketch out the front part of the muzzle.
Adjust the shape of the head and finish the front part. Draw the protruding parts in the place where the superciliary arch, nose, and chin will be.
- Draw elements of the muzzle.
Carefully draw the eye which is almond shaped, inside the eye add the pupil. Draw the nose and with the help of smooth lines draw the mouth.
- Depict the ears.
The lynx has round, erect ears. Use smooth lines to draw the outer outline of the ears, and then add the inner part of the ear.
- Add the front paws.
When the upper body is ready, you can move on to drawing the limbs. Use the guidelines that you have prepared in advance and draw the two front paws next to each other.
- Sketch out the bottom of the front paws.
At the bottom, add rounded feet. Draw the toes on both paws using small, rounded lines.
- Draw the hind legs.
Now it’s time to draw the hind legs. Use smooth lines and try to depict all the physiological curves of the body.
- Depict the bottom of the hind legs.
Finish drawing the paws and add feet on each hind paw. Draw the fingers in the same way as you did for the front paws.
- Correct inaccuracies.
Remove all auxiliary lines with the eraser, they are no longer needed. If you suddenly see inaccuracies, then correct them at this stage.
- Color the drawing.
Use brown to color in the bobcat’s fur, and don’t forget to add shadows to make the drawing look more realistic. Then add the small spots all over the body. Draw the stripes on the tail.
