This is very nice and is a good entry for the contest. Big cats are always special and are symbolic with it. If we can preserve nature habitats, we will not lose endangered species. Thank you for sharing and best of luck with this image

I love this. He is so strong but he seems to just want to blend into his surroundings. I wish I had your talents. Keep on keeping on. Did you do this from memory?

Comment from Melyuki
wow this is an awesome piece of artwork. Love your detail and fine lines that have created this excellent face of the big lion, ( or cheetah) resting on the tree branch. His features are beautifully drawn and coloured. His markings stand out well and even his whiskers add to his lifelike appearance. The branch he rests on has great tones of colour and detail which makes it look realistic and contrasts nicely with the foliage in the background .. The picture has character, a sense of peace surrounding it and is a joy to view. I have loved reviewing your amazing work. thanks for sharing. cheers mel. wish I had a 6th star to offer

OMG! What a nice piece. Good texture, really popping color and contrast. I like how he really seems to be relaxing. Just so mellow, chillin' out. Very well done. Good job. Good luck in the contest.

Very good entry for the contest. Lovely creation with coloured pencils, ink and white out pencil showing the big cat - Leopard I think - resting on the tree branch. Love all the detail in the leaves surrounding him and the light in his eye. Very good light and shade. Lovely composition. Good luck in the contest. Suzanne
