This is a study of a Preserved Snow Leopard drawn in graphite pencil and taking about 15 minutes in total.
This piece provides a good example of perspective in the front paws and head, as well as shading and tonal value on the belly, under the hind legs and at the base of the tail. and the strokes of the graphite on the tail effectively portray the look of fur and the bushy tail of the leopard. The perspective and foreshortening in the head and face are carried out well allowing you to get a good sense of the direction the leopard is looking and is the most detailed and proportioned part of the study.
The distance between the head and the hind legs look like they have suffered on the foreshortening department which makes the leopard appear weird and out of proportion. Also the fact the tail, back and underside of the drawing are shaded but the front and the head are not, despite the head being the most detailed part of this study makes the piece look in complete.
