Leopard

The three pieces you have posted are so good, they have inspired me to try an animal portrait.

Excellent Julia, super look to this Leopard, great texture, and as you rightly point out this clearly was not done on a child's quality scratchboard, the real thing does seem to be quite popular in America and Australia and there are people doing amazing work over there in this medium as you have done here

Do enter as many wildlife open competitions as you can. You are sure to do really well!
