Night Caller

This is a sketch of a leopard tentatively stooping to take a quick drink.

It has been sketched using the medium of CHALK and CHARCOAL with a touch of OCHRE pastel, whilst using a beautiful reference photograph courtesy of Pravir Patel.

This image is paired with an earlier image that I did called "First Light".

Below is the sequence of images showing how I sketched it

I've lightly sketched in the outline of the leopard onto the black paper

I started by highlighting the leopard's face and whiskers then worked up the neck

I've added the tip of the paw to give the leopard some balance. This is the scan which was done at Framers Gallery
