Description This is a guache on water color paper. The size is 18x24.

I used a variety of photo reference to make this image. None of them were exactly this image. Which unfortunately causes the image to lose some of the realism I was going for. I was trying to make the leopard break the border a bit more than it did. I am toying with the idea of making it the first of a series of similar style big cat paintings.

Let me know what you think. Criticisms are welcome!

ps. sorry for the poor quality of the upload. The actual image looks better.

I agree. The back paws do look a little funny, like he's standing rather than jumping. Other than that, this is very awesome for a watercolor.

Well I think it's very nice, and very well done. The only thing I could point out are the back paws of the leopard, which seem to be standing on air, but since I don't know how leopards land, it voids the critique

I really think it's very nice good job.
