Pencil sketch commission for 
pardus, of his kookaburra-winged, two-tailed, African leopard playfully rolling and stretching in the snow, whilst daring you to give him a tummy rub. (Come on, you KNOW you want to...He may disembowel you, but that's just the risk you'll have to take...Resistance is futile, you know.) ;)
Note: This pose nearly killed me! I don't know if leopards can twist themselves into pretzels like kitties can--see my refs--but it was a fun challenge to draw! And he looks a bit fluffy because my leopard refs were Amurs...But I guess any leopard living in Norway would have to be a bit fluffier than normal in the wintertime. :)

how do you create that fuzzy-looking fur texture? (If you see a green shine, that would be me. I glow green with envy)
I think leopards can twist like that, I just can't say if they would do it in any playful way... I once saw a documentary where a leopard went after birds. :)

There's an awesome book by J.C. Amberlyn (aka DesertCoyote on LJ; dunno if she has a gallery here) called "Drawing Wildlife" that shows how to sketch fur like this. :) http://www.jcamberlyn.com/
