Mischief Makers
This is a sketch of two curious sibling leopard cubs sitting on a tree branch
It's been sketched using the medium of PASTEL on PASTEL MATT paper.
This ORIGINAL has been SOLD to a PRIVATE COLLECTOR.
The sequence of images below shows how the image was sketched
The laborious task of lightly sketching in the spots and features of the two leopard cubs
Starting on the background and working across and then down the image
Added some sky to give the image some height and now started on the left cub
Filling in the ruff of fur on the cub's shoulder as it dips it's head
I'm working on the cub's face, ear and then down its back before going onto the front feet
I'm gradually working on the fur on the body, shoulder and down the front legs
Filling in the spots around the feet
That's the first leopard base colour done, now moving onto the second leopard cub.
Finished the second cubs eyes and have now worked on its ears and face
My work station, I've got hours of work still to do
That's the first paw of second cub done, as I gradually work up the body.
I'm starting to add more details to the cub's chest and then I'll work down it's leg
I'll add a glimpse of a tail and another branch after I've worked on the lower branch..
The finished image, just have to sign it now
