Description I found this in my garage a while ago - it's a portrait of a leopard I did in high school. It's not perfect, I know, but I liked it, and it is one of the only things I did in charcoal pencil.

The picture is bigger than what is shown here, but my scanner is only the size of a regular sheet of paper boo.

I have no idea who to credit for the reference. This was probably like 6 years ago when I did more realistic stuff...

Actually looks more like a jaguar to me... Β I think it's the build of the face.

I honestly admire artists who can draw animals like this. I've been drawing for almost 12 years and I still can't master an animal. I give you major props for this.

ps. If you can, check out my site [link]

This is fantastic. I hate using charcoal because it gets all over my hands, but you seem to be excellent at using it. Also, I think I know what you referenced. I saw a stuffed leopard at a museum once that look alot like this, if you don't mind me saying so, and if you frequent museums, I wouldn't be suprised if it was that same leopard you draw years ago. Sorry, I have a photographic memory and I thought of that as soon as you said you couldn't remember what you referenced. If you want, I can send you the picture I took of it while I was there. Sorry for the long comment.

Mine used to work fairly good until something happened with the drivers o_O Now a completely different menu shows up when I try to scan stuff, and it won't let me adjust -anything- o_O;;
