Step 6: Make a series of curved lines that connect the circles to form the snow leopard's body.

Step 7: Draw four lines (two below each circle) as guides for the leopard's legs. The lines in the back should angle a bit.

Finish Up the "Skeleton"

Step 8: Lightly sketch a long curved line on the right side for the tail.

That's it for the initial sketch! From this point on, press harder with your graphite pencil to get a more defined sketch.

Step 9: Draw the eyes using the intersecting lines as guides for placement. The shape of the eye is similar to a football. Inside each eye, make a circle for the eyeball and a smaller shaded circle inside that for the pupil.
