Kiara's leopard

I have now completed a sketch of a beautiful Ravenscourt male leopard from the Sabi Sands area in South Africa

I have used a stunning photograph which was taken by up and coming wildlife photographer Kiara Rodgers who is based at Leopard Hills Private Game Reserve.

The finished sketch - "Kiara's Leopard"

Framed Limited Edition Print.

So far so good

Stage FIVE - Left side of image still needs a lot of finer work to be
done, then I'll move to the right side to work on the leopards left paw.

Stage FOUR - Working down the left side of the body, from the chin down to the leopaards right paw.

Stage THREE - Starting the sketch from top left to bottom right.

A close up through my magnifyin glass of some of the markers for me to use. This is the most laborious part of the sketch to do because the rest is such fun watching it come to life as I sketch it with Chalk, Charcoal and Ochre pigment.

Stage TWO - The markers are now in place to sketch the Ravenscourt leopard.

Stage ONE - Marking and sizing the Image
