Throwback: Studies for Africa (Patreon)

This throwback contains one of (way too) many studies on Africa, and on leopards in general.

Big cats were really hard for me to draw at first, because I was so used to drawing exclusively canines after five or so years of Chakra.

The sketches in the upper left are more ancient than the rest. On the right-hand side, I was looking for some interesting/unique features for Africa's face.

The pointy chin had to leave, but the mole-like spot stayed <3

I even attempted some realism from time to time, with dubious results.

Enjoy!
