Leopard

 

Leopard
10"x27"
Color Pencil/Pastel
Here I have used pastel for the soft background and mostly Prismacolor pencil for the cat itself.  Got a little dizzy after a while with all the spots.  This also is a very large picture for me and took me quite a while as I was working full time. 
Still struggle to find that right combination for the buff, tawny colors so many of these animals have.

  1. This is so beautiful Nelvia. I love that soft background and how it focuses our attention on the cat and your colors are perfect.
