The way leopards expression has been captured, almost alert indecision, is what makes this study stand out in a gallery.

Really beautifull! I recognize certain emotions in this, it's one of the better works in this alley, that I have seen since I joined deviantart ^^ Congratulations
Just a little question: how did you draw the nose-hair and such (all the 'white' lines)? Did you leave those for last and used some kind of erasor to make them? ^^ Anyway, really well done! I aspire to be able to do sortlike artwork in the future

Thanks for your comment, much appreciated.
No I did not erase the little white hairs, I started drawing the hair with a hard pencil, like H4, then I go over the same area using a HB pencil, and if necessary again with a softer pencel like a B3.
I indented (is that a correct word?) the whiskers, so that when I went over it, very carefully of coarse, they would remain white.
