and here's a cheetah head forward-facing, looks much better, doesn't it?

zebra

young leopard

Leopard cub, I think it was six months old in the film? I don't usually concentrate long enough to draw all the spots and you can see this time I lost interest in rendering all that detail when I got to the rear legs. My husband doesn't like this drawing, he thinks the face looks strange. It is a little akward- the nose skewed, the eyes not quite looking in the same direction. But I still think he's a cute little leopard, regardless.

caracal

small african wildcat named the caracal, front and back. Russet brown with dark ear tips and golden eyes. The face reminds me of an abbyssinian cat.

bird

some kind of bird that walks across the tops of lily pads

I have not been drawing lately, plus the baby has been sick so that's why no posts for a while. These are all drawings I did back in 2010 but didn't post then. Will notify when they become current.
