About these cheetah coloring pages
A cheetah is a colouring gift: a long lean body covered in hundreds of separate round spots, plus two dark tear lines running down the face. Every one of those spots is a small closed shape. The easy pages keep the body simple and the spots large, with thick outlines and plenty of room.
The rest of the set runs. A full sprint with the legs stretched front and back, a cub tumbling in the grass, a mother watching from a termite mound, a stalk through dry stems and a whole savanna at dusk. Detailed and realistic pages draw the fur and every spot separately. Every page prints free on US Letter or A4 as a PDF or a PNG.
Coloring tips and activities
- Colour the coat first and add the spots afterwards in a much darker tone. If you outline every spot first the page takes twice as long.
- Keep the two tear lines on the face the darkest marks on the whole page — they are what makes a cheetah a cheetah rather than a leopard.
- Leave the chest and the underside almost white. Big cats are pale underneath, and it stops the body looking flat.
- On the sprint pages, leave the dust and the grass pale so the animal stays the subject.
