New zambian cheetah drawing underway

This is the beginnings of my latest pencil drawing and another part of my collection of images borne out of my trip last year to Botswana and Zambia.
I had the privilege of handling this female cheetah and going on a bushwalk with her in Zambia,an experience I shall never forget.The cats face is complete except for the eye and now ive moved on to make a start on her spots which will take a whole day in the studio to layer up until nice and dark.
