Cheetah's Spots

So how do you draw the spots on a Cheetah? I am not sure I know the answer. I know this sounds a stupid question but it is an important one for me. Recently I have started to make generic animal portraits, such as this cheetah drawing. This is just for fun and so the question is just how far do I go with the reality? I love the cleanness of the lines of this cheetah and I feel that any attempt to add spots might distract from this - but a cheetah with out spots is, well not a cheetah. Yet does this matter? I don't know - what I do know is that I like the sleek lines of this wonderful creature and I think I will leave this as it is - minus spots.
