I decided to revisit the leopard I drew with ink a year earlier (see below), though decided to make it into a colour study.
Leopards are masters of disguise, though that is the case with a lot of predators: they’ve adapted to blend in with their environments. This is the main reason why it this big cat has no visible outlines in the drawing, and any outline you can see is based on its surroundings. Using just black and white was also a conscious decision to capture how tricky it can be to see them.
