Made this snow leopard because of the wonderful snow leopard tutorial by BeckyKidus and badge by Doosio

Because I often draw and paint animals I wanted to challenge myself a bit with this one, so I decided to have another attempt at drawing on black paper - which requires a slightly different way of working compared to white paper (to me it's like you draw the light instead of shadow). I used some quality pencils (Polychromos) but still couldn't get the contrast right (white still came out kind of gray even though I put quite a bit of pressure on the pencils), so I went over the pencil strokes with acrylics to make the portrait stand out more.

It has been fun to draw and paint this!
