The Opportunist

A leopard at night looking from RIGHT too LEFT

This image has been sketched on Black Pastel Paper using CHALK, CHARCOAL and PASTELS whilst using a reference photograph courtesy of Sameera YS.

This ORIGINAL has been SOLD to a PRIVATE COLLECTOR.

I pencilled in the outline, adding the misty background then working in some of the darker underfur

Now I've started to sketch in the leopards eye and nose before working up the head to the ears and neck.

I'm currently working from my second easle with the natural light coming over from over my shoulder..

Now scanned and framed by Framers Gallery
