Description I originally wanted to draw something anthropomorphic next, but I couldn't find the motivation/inspiration for anything I wanted to do, so I decided to go through some of my old pictures. That's where I got the idea to draw a serval from some reference I had, since I've never tried drawing them before. I love their sleek and long bodies, angular face and, of course, their enormous ears.

I decided not to focus on perfect anatomy too much this time around. I rather wanted to get to the actual painting phase quicker, since that's much more fun than redrawing a specific body part for the 5th time, just because it doesn't look quite right yet. It worked out great in the end, since I finished this whole piece in a single day, which is a new record for me!

100% of my approval regarding the ears.
it looks so fuzzy, I wanna rub the belly and probably get scratched to death while trying D:

have you tried blurrying the foreground gras so the focus is on the serval? not sure how this would look.

So fluffy

Yes I've tried that, but it looked worse. It got rid of all the "detail" and generally looked out of place, so I left it as is. I agree that it's not the best looking, but it's good enough ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I love the pose so much! It makes the serval look so playful and cuddly. Also, the way the light hits it really brings it out while feeling very natural. Maybe you could've added a few blades of grass on its face; now the head looks ever so slightly floaty. All in all, I think you did a fantastic job with this drawing!

Thank you so much!

Ah yes. I had some blades of grass over the head, but I wanted it to be raised slightly above the ground, so I tuned the grass in front of the head down a bit, but it seems like that was a little bit too much. Oh well, that's something for next time ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Thanks for the feedback though!
