Description I'm running out of things to call my art haha. I'm not too creative when it comes to naming my pieces. 
This one was a fun test to see how I would use my new technique to paint the mane and using it for a different lighting technique. Hope you like it! What's your favorite big cat breed? 

Made with Krita and Wacom Intuos Pro M.

Noctualis In reply to Pepper-Lynx [2018-01-23 01:27:36 +0000 UTC]

haha hard to say. I have favorites for different things. Lions are my favorite to paint because of their manes, cheetahs have been my favorites since I was a kid because I think they are pretty cool and I'm going to try to learn to draw them better soon lol, and recently I've started to love snow leopards because the gifs of them are hilarious and they have so much personality!

Pepper-Lynx In reply to Noctualis [2018-01-23 05:07:26 +0000 UTC]

Oh yeah they are all so different when you get to know them! When I was a kid I loved cheetahs, all my stuff was cheetah print XD I had a fur real friend and listened to the cheetah girls lol

I like painting the creases of a lioness face, I love seeing how detailed they can be compared to the other cats, but manes are hard for me.

Noctualis In reply to Pepper-Lynx [2018-02-05 18:15:52 +0000 UTC]

I was actually annoyed at the cheetah girls when I was younger because they often had leopard/jaguar print so I considered them posers lol! But i still watched the movies and listened to the songs XD

oh yeah the creases are fun too! they have so much detail that is fun to capture in a painting. Manes can definitely be a challenge sometimes. But I think it is good practice to come back to when I'm trying to improve how I draw fur

That's how I am with McDonald's! I eat there food but I'm super upset with their ingredients o: but I loved the cheetah girls and recently tried listening to their songs again and couldn't handle it XD
