Endangered Reflections

Hello All,

It is so nice to be back working on my artwork for myself; it’s been a long time.  With the book and the Craftsy online course I just haven’t had the time to work on my own stuff.

I took the photo of this Amur Leopard while I was at a wildlife sanctuary in Montana.  This will be one of the “Reflection” series I started a while back.

Size:  22” x 12”
Medium:  Colored Pencil (Prismacolor, Lyra, Colorsoft and Derwent Studios)
Surface:  Champagne colored suede mat board
Title:  Endangered Reflections
Reference:  My own photo

The first image is the reference photo and the second image is just a small section of the piece I'm working on.

I'm still working on this area and still need to push the values a bit more.  I thought I'd post a work in progress of this piece.

It's so nice to be back working at my own art!

Don't forget to keep scribbling!!

Critically Endangered; Amur Leopard


Critically Endangered; Amur Leopard


Hello All,

Here is my latest piece.  It is done with 100% Colored Pencil on Suede Mat Board.

This magnificent animal is one of the top ten "Critically Endangered" animals.  This is an Amur Leopard.  It is said that there are only 40-60 left in the wild.  It's such a shame that there are so few left in the wild.

If you have any questions or comments let me know.  Don't forget..... Keep Scribbling!!
