Description
This is my first attempt drawing a big cat with colored pencil. Colored pencils are not very forgiving so drawing fur/hair is more challenging and less flexible than graphite. I some how managed to draw around the whiskers with a little help of an electric eraser. Again, the electric eraser only remove a limited amount of color.
As for the composition, the eyes should be the focal point, so I cut out all the distraction and left with this close-up. "Bam! In your face!" that kind of feel.
The fur texture was created by colored pencil strokes alone. The OMS solvent was applied lightly to intensify the color satuation. Heavy application with solvent is likely to killl the texture.
Let me know what you think. Fave/Comment/Like. Thanks!

Overall Vision Originality Technique ImpactThis is very well done, you captured the texture perfectly. The eyes are done with detail in mind. The use of blue was good but sometimes less is more. Some areas had an excessive amount of blue. The nose stands out to me the most with and overuse of blue. Otherwise this is very well executed! I loved the colors of the eyes as well, and the spots are done very well. The texture of the fur is breathtaking and very realistic. When I seen this picture I just had to favorite, I also felt it would be helpful to give you a viewers opinion of the piece.
