This is absolutely gorgeous and you did this out of chalk, amazing!!

I really love her green eyes and how well you did on them, the find details really make a difference.

The colors all go well together and the texture of her fur is perfect.

I love your pastel work here - am thinking of trying pastels, but wonder about all the dust they would make. Do you use a fixative as your work on the image. This is a most beautiful cat with such an elegance and with very eager searching eyes. Colors are beautiful, and your work on the fur is just excellent. What a very unique cat. A pleasure to view.

    Thank you so much for your lovely review. Yes, I use fixative (or hair spray if I've run out!) in between layers. They do cause a bit of dust but I spread a bin liner on the floor if I'm inside and have a packet of wipes handy for my fingers, as I do most of the blending with finger tips. Suzanne

    Thanks for the tips on pastel work. david f said he used hairspray sometimes also. Fingers are great tools in pastel work I image. I have always loved the way the chalk looks on paper. You can try the markers, and I will need to try the pastels!

this lynx looks amazing. i have seen a lynx in the wild here in north america and can really appreciate the look you captured.

A very beautiful image, he is so alive just to grab him in this image - these eyes are saying it all - super detail work, super color choice, accurate proportions, super fine background - the color choice of your background fits 100% ringing luminosity into your picture - super detailed work in his face, the nose and the beard, super position you gave him looking half upwards - a wonderful image, well done

Very colorful pastel. Love the fur and the detail on the ears. The blue background helps those green eyes pop. I like how it looks like it is watching prey. Very nice job done here.

Outstanding drawing, love the lynx in the first place and I really like the flow with which you designed and drew this little guy. The eyes are so big and beautiful. That particular shade of green and yellow is very beautiful and rather unique. You can almost see the reflection it would cause in the headlights at night. I think you did a great job with the details the accents of the fur, tassels on the ears, the pinkish red nose, and the multi-colored whiskers. And the background is great colors for making the foreground stand out. Wonderful work of art.

    You are very welcome and it's a really nice piece of art. Looking all these paintings makes me miss the days when I was a painter.

Comment from drmerlin


I really like this. The composition is great (although I think a little less headroom might have been better) and the colours are great. I really love the detail and the expression on the Lynx's face. Very nice work!
