Pencil drawing of a leopard lying down. Drawn with graphite, coloured pencils and pastel on 300gsm Mixed Art paper. All I wanted was to depict it in a compelling and colourful manner, just to pull the attention of viewers at some point. Among my sources of inspiration are animals, which is something that I'm enamoured with and therefore, that is why I have chosen to draw one of the world’s wildest and most exotic animals.
