Leopard
pencil sketch
8x10
While I was doing this pencil sketch of this beautiful animal my eyes got so tired from all the spots. I had to stop or else soon they would have all run together.

  3. Hi Sue!....Love the expression on this leopard's young face! Reading between the spots... you can feel the curiosity and devilment in those wonderfully rendered eyes!

    Another piece of pencil magic...el Greco!HAHA!!

    Good sketching Sue... and Happy Summer!
    Warmest regads,
    Bruce

    PS If all of the spots had "run together" ... the sketch would only have become a beautifully rendered panther pup! HAHA!!
