Whoa this took me quite a while to do. Trying to figure out different things on Photoshop elements. The leopard was originally more blue, but I changed the colours through that neat "enhance colour" selection. The "detail" on the leaves was the last thing I did, and at that point I was getting bored ^_^

No photo reference used, so there are mistakes I'm sure (such as the face, it looks more like a cross between a lion and a jaguar more than a leopard) but I'm quite happy overall with this. This time last year I couldn't have produced anything like this at all as I hadn't a clue :)

EDIT: Okay so his head bothered me ALOT, so I hope he now looks more leopard-ish than before :)

So I get over art block when I should be studying, go figure XD

Doodled this whilst some wildlife documentary was on; I forgot what amazing animals hyenas are :)

Style is different to my usual, but I'm trying to experiment a 'lil more and am influenced by others I admire here :) I quite like the result.

I dunno if I should flesh this girlie out or not (seeing as I never draw my own chars)

I started this a few weeks ago whilst half watching Big Cat Live and have been tinkering with it on and off ever since. This is proof that I cannot draw realistic fur on the computer lol. Oh well, I should practice it, but I find it difficult. As you can see by the messiness, I got bored and gave up.

I don't really like this, but thought it earned upload status as it was worked on for so long X)

Just started messing around in SAI to see what I could come up in a short space of time. I really need to practice landscapes :-/

Woah, I haven't used MSpaint or a mouse in so long, but I'm in work and very bored lol. This took about 15-20 mins.

Gosh, using a mouse is so stiff compared to a tablet, but I may try to go back to the mouse every now again just for the challenge.

Ick, anatomy mistakes

This is the sketch I used for my WIP. I didn't have a scanner at the time, so my WIP was drawn directly onto photoshop elements by me.

This is a major WIP. I don't have time to finish tonight because I stupidly started it very late at night, and work looms ahead in the morning :-(.

I sketched it directly onto photoshop elements from looking at a pic in a book I got today, I'm just experimenting with more realistic and sketchy styles on the comp to get used to it (still find it hard to draw on the comp, a pad and paper is soo much easier, but less efficient for me to upload XD).

I think I may keep the finished version in sepias and browns rather than colour it.

EDIT: I went for colour in the end, still unfinished though

She reminds me of an outlander ^^. I have to say I was inspired by Legatta's superb style.

Ok this is the same sketcher lion I did in Sketcher today, but his back leg really bothered me, so I re-did it in Photoshop elements. I think it's alot better now, but I shall let you decide.

Meh, was uninspired, so tried a bit of realism for a change. Realism is so much easier in real media than on the computer; still I did what I could in sketcher lol. Should have reffed it, but I'm lazy lol.
