Description
The first animal is a Snow leopard. I made this one out of aluminum foil, and added the markings with photoshop.Here is the journal entry I made about this art challenge
Zooly animal art challenge for July!Here's the list of daily animal prompts for the July art challenge (so you can cheat, like me ) post your images on our Zooly facebook page, twitter or instagram withthe hashtag #zooly and here on DA too! (You will need to search on Zoolyfacebook, it won't let me post a link to facebook for some reason)
This challenge is for YOU, to stimulate your creativity and to have fun. Only you can make the rules for YOUR challenge — and even then, you can regard them as more like guidelines (to paraphrase a certain pirate captain).
That said, any challenge has to have a bit of structure. We have set up the prompts to spark your imagination and to allow a bit of synergy around everyone interpreting a similar subject. From there, you can interpret the prompt in any medium, any style that you like, traditional or digital. We do ask if you are doing altered work, please credit the original source material. And feel free to describe your proces

Making a sculpture out of aluminum foil?!! Never thought I'd see such a thing! The detail you've managed to make is just mind-boggling

Thank you! I photoshopped this a lot to make it look ok! The plain aluminum foil one looks pretty dumb...

Do you have any tips for sculpting feline heads? I have a few screenshots I've taken of different angles of your older cat candleholders to use as reference for cat head structure when I sculpt but I still really struggle, particularly with the muzzle and lower jaw areas of cat faces. The head on this Snow Leopard looks absolutely perfect and really exudes essence of the specific species. Congratulations on such a wonderful representation of this magnificent animal!

Ah! This worked! Here is a scribble I just did. house Cats are the hardest! I still don't have it down.I always put the ears in the wrong place...or something..too far back I think.Snow leopards have really strange heads! I screwed up this aluminum foil leopard
several times ( needed to tear the head off and replace it!)

That is incredibly helpful, thank you SO much for taking the time to sketch that out! I see now it's the smooth curve of the lower jaw that I need to work at on my next domestic cat sculpt. I have been making the chin part of the jaw too large/puffy which bulks out that area in a very non-house cat kind of way. I've saved the sketch to my computer and am excited to try this, thanks again!
And yes, I understand about Snow Leopard heads, even just drawing them can be a challenge to get them right. Your hard work on this foil sculpt paid off; it looks perfect.
