Peek a Boo

A slight glimpse of a leopard as it watches you

This image has been sketched using PASTELS on Pastel Matt Paper whilst using a stunning reference photograph courtesy of Karin Van Couwenberg.

Starting off with a soft hue that then leads down to the green of the foliage.

Both the ear and eye have been added as I continue to work on the cheek and whiskers.

Nearly finished the leopard peeping around the corner, will then add the bark of the tree on the right side of the image

Just adding some highlights to the nose and then it's finished
