Felidae SketchBook Page 16-17 (Patreon)

King Cheetah was suggested by the patreon Alchemy when I asked for suggestions for the Felidae sketch book.
I actually am happy with the gouache study of the king cheetah. It's enough detail and gradients.  How I paint you take the longest on your middle to dark layer otherwise you'll end up fighting it in later stages attempting to get depth or correct colours.
