hand painting cheetah

Expressions tell on the emotion. When creating an animal design, decide on what emotion you want your finished product to convey. Is it an enraged cheetah or a self-satisfied cat? This can be done by focusing on the slant of the eyebrows. If they meet in the middle forming a v-shape, this will give off the emotion of anger. If they are high above the eyes - that indicates surprise. So be careful in drawing the eyes and eyebrows. The emotion of your cheetah design will be reflected here.
